3 years is a long time to wait. Ted Lasso Season 4 is finally coming, and Apple TV just dropped the first trailer on April 28, 2026, and the response has been immediate.
Here is everything confirmed so far, all in one place.

When Does Ted Lasso Season 4 Premiere?
August 5, 2026. That is the official premiere date for Ted Lasso Season 4 on Apple TV+.

Seasons 1 through 3 are still available on Apple TV+ for anyone who needs to catch up before August.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Trailer: What Happens in it?
The Ted Lasso Season 4 trailer opens exactly how you would expect, warm, funny, and immediately a little emotionally complicated.
Ted is back at Richmond. But here is the twist: he is not coaching the men’s first team. He is coaching a women’s second division football team, and the trailer makes clear that not everyone is thrilled about it.
The very first line sets the tone. A fan approaches Ted and says: “Welcome back, Coach. Too bad you’re coaching a bunch of girls, you wanker.”
That one line tells you what Season 4 is going to be about. Ted faces skepticism, fighting for a team people underestimate, and doing it in his own warm, relentlessly optimistic way. Classic Ted Lasso energy, but with a sharper edge.
Other moments from the trailer:
- Roy Kent and Keeley Jones are shown reuniting
- Rebecca shares a kiss with the Dutchman
- Rebecca and Keeley appear to be working together again
- The overall tone, funny, warm, emotionally grounded, feels exactly like the show at its best.
The Ted Lasso Season 4 trailer has already drawn strong reactions online, with many fans pointing to the women’s football angle as a genuinely exciting creative direction.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Cast: Who is Returning and Who is New?
Returning Cast
Everyone who matters is back.
| Actor | Character |
| Jason Sudeikis | Ted Lasso |
| Hannah Waddingham | Rebecca Welton |
| Juno Temple | Keeley Jones |
| Brett Goldstein | Roy Kent |
| Brendan Hunt | Coach Beard |
| Jeremy Swift | Higgins |
New Cast Members for Season 4
Ted Lasso Season 4 new cast members include several fresh faces joining the women’s team storyline:
| Actor | Role |
| Tanya Reynolds | TBC |
| Jude Mack | TBC |
| Faye Marsay | TBC |
| Rex Hayes | TBC |
| Aisling Sharkey | TBC |
| Abbie Hern | TBC |
| Grant Feely | Henry Lasso (older) |
Grant Feely playing an older Henry is a detail worth noting. Henry was a small kid in earlier seasons. The fact that he is being recast with an older actor suggests Henry plays a more meaningful role in the new arc.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Plot: What to Expect
The women’s team storyline did not come from nowhere. In Season 3, Keeley actually proposed the idea of an AFC Richmond women’s team to owner Rebecca Welton. That seed was planted deliberately.
Now Ted Lasso Season 4 picks up that thread and makes it the central story.
Ted is back in England, coaching a second-division women’s team. The challenges are different from anything he has faced before, not just the football, but the culture around it, the skepticism, and the weight of proving that this team deserves to be taken seriously.
The theme Apple TV has highlighted for the season is “taking chances, leaping before you look,” which feels very Ted.
What else we know about the Season 4 plot:
- Ted left Richmond at the end of Season 3 to return to the US and be closer to his son Henry.
- His return to England sets up an emotional reunion with the Richmond community.
- Multiple romantic storylines are continuing, Roy and Keeley, Rebecca and the Dutchman.
- The season is described as the start of a fresh three-season arc.
If the rumors about seasons 5 and 6 are accurate, this is less of a comeback and more of a relaunch.
How to Watch Ted Lasso Season 4
Ted Lasso Season 4 is exclusively on Apple TV+. It is not on Netflix, not on Prime Video, and not on any other platform.
How to subscribe:
- Apple TV+ is available as a standalone subscription.
- It is accessible on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Smart TVs, and through a web browser at tv.apple.com.
- Apple sometimes offers free trial periods for new subscribers, check the current offer on their site.
Catching up on Seasons 1-3: All three earlier seasons are currently streaming on Apple TV+. Season 3 ended with Ted heading back to the US, Rebecca finding unexpected happiness, and Roy and Keeley in an uncertain place. Watching those final episodes before August will make the new season land harder.
Why Ted Lasso Season 4 Deserves Attention in 2026
The show won 20 Emmy Awards across its first three seasons, including back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series wins. It received 61 total nominations. For a show that premiered during the pandemic on a streaming platform nobody was sure about, that run was extraordinary.
More than that, Ted Lasso built an audience that genuinely loved it, not because it was flashy or dark or controversial, but because it was kind. In a TV landscape full of antiheroes and cynicism, it felt like a relief.
The 3-year gap since Season 3 has only built more anticipation. And the women’s football angle arrives at a moment when the sport is genuinely at a cultural peak globally, from the Women’s World Cup to growing league attendance across Europe. The timing feels right.
