Financial terms of the deal were not immediately available.
A 2021 fourth-round draft pick, Hubbard, from Sherwood Park, Alta., is in the midst of his best season with the Panthers (2-7).
He is fifth in the league in yards rushing with 665 and has five touchdowns on the ground while averaging 5 yards per carry. He also has 26 receptions for 108 yards and a TD.
Hubbard ran for 72 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter, in Sunday's 23-22 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Hubbard was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
Next up for the Panthers for a contract extension could be cornerback Jaycee Horn, a former first-round draft pick.
The extension comes just as Panthers rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks is expected to make his NFL debut on Sunday in Munich against the New York Giants.
