Sources: 155. Developments: 9. In August 2026, Apple TV+ released the fourth season of *Ted Lasso*, following Ted (Jason Sudeikis) as he coaches the AFC Richmond Lady Greyhounds, the club’s second-division women’s team. The season explores themes of gender bias, feminism in sport, and increased LGBTQ+ representation. As the season progresses, the Lady Greyhounds face systemic hurdles, including financial instability noted in the ‘Higgins Report’ and internal friction among player cliques. Team cohesion remains a struggle, highlighted by a pub trivia night that resulted in a brawl and police custody for the team. The arrival of Zelda Southport, an “influential and unpredictable entrepreneur,” has introduced new financial opportunities and complications for Rebecca Welton and Keeley Jones. In the fifth episode, ‘Riches of Embarrassment,’ the team suffers a 3–2 defeat against Chelsea. Following tension regarding the players' concern for Ted’s personal well-being, Ted suspends assistant coach Alice Chilton as a “wake-up call” regarding her professional conduct. In the sixth episode, the narrative shifts to New Year’s Eve celebrations held at various locations, including the Crown & Anchor, a vodka launch party for Jaime Tartt, and a boat party hosted by Zelda Southport. Zelda’s event aims to introduce the Richmond women’s team to wealthy potential investors, though the atmosphere is marked by eccentric guests, such as Hugo Riddles, whose behavior causes discomfort. Amidst these social maneuvers, Alice Chilton remains absent due to her ongoing suspension, while other characters navigate various romantic realizations. The seventh episode of the fourth season is scheduled to premiere on September 16. ## Claims - Ted Lasso season 4 premieres on Apple TV+ on 5 August 2026.
