Ted Lasso Season 4: Teaser Trailer & Release Date Revealed

Our favourite football manager is making a return to south west London


Ted Lasso had quite an intense and surprising impact on British football, namely by introducing a swathe of Americans to the sport. (Were actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney inspired by the series to purchase Wrexham A.F.C.? We will never know for sure…) And now, a visit to London’s quaint Richmond always involves bumping into a few Ted Lasso fans seeking to visit their favourite filming locations from the show.

With season 3 concluding in 2023, we thought we’d seen the last of Jason Sudeikis’ saccharine football coach. Back then, Sudeikis commented: ‘This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell. The fact that folks will want more and are curious […] is flattering.’

While it was originally intended as a three-season show, popularity always opens doors. In March 2025, Apple TV made the shock renewal: Ted Lasso would return for season 4, and Sudeikis would definitely return in the title role. In July, filming commenced, with fan favourites Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift back in the fold.

With further details and a release date finally revealed, here’s everything we know so far about Ted Lasso season 4.

Ted Lasso Season 4: Plot, Cast, Release Date & More

First, a quick recap: the Ted Lasso season 3 finale saw Ted (Sudeikis) return to the US to be closer to his son (and to coach his soccer team). Back in Richmond, Roy Kent (Goldstein) fills Ted’s shoes as the new head coach of Richmond AFC. It was a relatively happy ending for all involved – hence why we assumed season 3 was the end of the road.

What Will Happen In Season 4?

There’s a new challenge for Ted, who was clearly missing the balmy sunshine in Richmond, London. Abandoning Kansas and returning to the affluent London suburb, having always coached men, the American Football coach turned football/soccer coach will turn his attention to women – the British women’s second division, to be precise, as AFC Richmond launches its first women’s team.

While Roy Kent (Goldstein) continues to coach the Richmond men, the above teaser is reportedly the scene in which Rebecca (Waddingham), Keeley (Temple) and Higgins (Swift) jet off to Kansas, find Ted and pitch him the gig. He of course accepts, and over the course of the season, Ted and his team ‘learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would,’ Apple TV summarises.

So no earnestness lost as we move to a new season. We’re also preparing for some sharp wit and maybe even some romance: Jack Burditt (boasting credits across Nobody Wants This, Modern Family and 30 Rock) is executive producing the series with creator and star Sudeikis.

While a large tension for Ted in the first three seasons of Ted Lasso was the difficulty of being half the world away from his son, Henry, it seems this will be less of a problem in the series’ reprise: Henry, now 12 and a keen footballer himself, seems to have come with his father to lead a new life in London, school uniform and all.

Will There Be Season 5?

It seems Ted Lasso is far from over: word on the street is that a three-season arc has been masterminded by Sudeikis, taking Ted on a journey of self discovery similar in size and scope to the original first three seasons.

Release Date

Ted Lasso season 4 will premiere on Wednesday 5 August 2026 on Apple TV. New episodes will drop weekly.

All three seasons of Ted Lasso are available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+.
