Apple TV+ is having a banner year, and it's about to get even better. After a record-breaking 2025 that saw the return of Severance and the debut of Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, the streaming service is now bringing back one of its most beloved shows. Ted Lasso returns for its highly anticipated fourth season this Wednesday, August 5.
The comedy, starring Jason Sudeikis as the eternally optimistic American football coach turned English soccer manager, was a massive sleeper hit for Apple. Season 3 wrapped up in 2023, and many thought the story had reached its natural conclusion. But rumors of a comeback swirled, and Apple officially confirmed Season 4 last year, setting a 2026 release date. Now, the wait is finally over.
What's in store for Season 4?
This time around, Ted faces his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second-division women's football team. It's a fresh direction for the series, which saw Ted's arc with AFC Richmond's men's team come to a satisfying close in Season 3. The new premise promises plenty of heart, humor, and the kind of feel-good storytelling that made the show a global phenomenon.
Returning alongside Sudeikis are fan favorites Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent). Their chemistry has been a cornerstone of the show's appeal, and fans are eager to see how they adapt to this new chapter.

How to watch
All episodes of Ted Lasso Season 4 will be available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+. If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up for a free trial or a monthly plan. The first three seasons are also available on the platform, so you can binge-watch the entire series before the new season drops.
Apple TV+ has been on a roll lately, with hits like Pluribus and the recent Jake Johnson-led comedy-drama The Dink dominating streaming charts. The platform's original programming continues to impress, and Ted Lasso's return is sure to be one of the biggest events of the summer.
So mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 5, and get ready to root for the underdog once again. Ted Lasso is back, and he's bringing his signature optimism with him.
