The AFC Richmond is back! Two years after the third (and supposedly final) season, Apple TV has confirmed the arrival of Ted Lasso season 4, causing a stir among fans of one of the streaming platform’s most successful series. Here’s everything we know about it.
When will Ted Lasso season 4 premiere?
So far, Apple TV has not given an exact date for the premiere of the fourth season; however, it is already in pre-production, so it is expected to arrive on the platform’s catalog in 2026.
What will Ted Lasso season 4 be about?
Jason Sudeikis, the star of the series, revealed in an interview that he will return to his role as coach in season 4, but there will be some changes as he will no longer be coaching AFC Richmond but rather a women’s football team.
“While we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season 4, the people of AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they are supposed to be,” he said.

What is the plot of Ted Lasso?
Ted Lasso is a comedy that begins with the unexpected decision to hire an American football coach to manage a fictional Premier League team, AFC Richmond. This impulsive choice by the new president of the English club leads Ted Lasso to leave his job with a college team in Kansas and enter the competitive world of professional football in one of the world’s most prestigious leagues.
Throughout the first episodes of the series, Ted is introduced as a character full of optimism. The plot follows his adjustment to the new team and how he tackles the challenges he faces. As the story progresses, the diverse personalities of the players, as well as the president and the sporting and financial director, are revealed, while it becomes clear that the team is going through a rough patch.
The series captures the football environment exceptionally well, paying attention to every detail and reference. Ted Lasso includes the well-known commentators from ‘Sky Sports‘, and the fictional Nelson Road stadium, home of Richmond, resembles the Crystal Palace stadium. Additionally, other real Premier League stadiums, uniforms, and teams are shown, and some episodes take place in iconic locations such as London’s Wembley Stadium or Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena.
Originating as an advertising campaign for NBC Sports’ coverage of the Premier League, Ted Lasso enjoyed great success during its three seasons since its debut in 2020. The show won 11 Emmy awards, including Best Comedy Series for two consecutive years. Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein were awarded Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor twice, respectively, while Hannah Waddingham also received Best Supporting Actress.
How did Ted Lasso season 3 end?
(WARNING: SPOILER!) If you haven’t seen the latest season of the series, here’s a little bit about it and how the story ended; however, it’s best if you go watch it so you don’t miss any details before season 4 premieres.
The third season of Ted Lasso came to a close with the episode titled ‘So Long, Farewell’, which aired on May 31, 2023. In this episode, Ted makes the decision to return to the United States to be closer to his son, which means leaving his role as coach of AFC Richmond.
At the same time, the team faces their final match of the season against West Ham United, where they secure an impressive victory that positions them among the top teams in the Premier League. The series wrapped up several character arcs, providing a sense of closure and satisfaction for the viewers.
