Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Juno Temple are all reprising their roles in the new season, which will see the pun-loving coach take on a women’s team this time around. Ted Lasso officially returns Wednesday, August 5, 2026, on Apple TV. Here’s what you need to know.

What to remember from the last season ofTed Lasso:
When we last left Ted, he was returning home to Kansas to reunite with his son and ex-wife. Roy Kent stepped up as head coach of AFC Richmond, and Beard stayed behind to help (and get married). Roy’s relationship with Keeley was in a confusing place, but Keeley was embarking on a big career move, pitching a women’s team to Rebecca — and by the Season 4 trailer, we know that pitch was a success.

Don’t have Apple TV right now and don’t want to shell out for another streaming platform? Here are some ways to snag an Apple TV subscription for less.
Get Apple TV for $3/month with a T-Mobile plan

Eligible T-Mobile subscribers who maintain one qualifying Experience Beyond or Experience More line in good standing are eligible for a discounted Apple TV plan for just $3/month.
Get a discounted rate with an Apple TV/Peacock bundle

Customers in the U.S. can save over 30% on regular prices by subscribing to the Apple TV and Peacock Premium bundle for $14.99/month, or the ad-free Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus for $19.99/month, through either app or website. (If you’re an existing Apple One subscriber on a Family or Premier plan, you can subscribe to Peacock Premium Plus and receive a special 35 percent discount.)
