After a hiatus of over three years, Ted Lasso makes its long-awaited return on Apple TV+ this Wednesday, 5 August 2026. The beloved comedy-drama, which became a global phenomenon, is back with a new season that shifts focus to AFC Richmond's women's team.
A Surprise Comeback
When the third series concluded in 2023, it was widely seen as the show's finale. However, last year Apple confirmed that AFC Richmond would return, sparking excitement among fans worldwide. The fourth series is described as an unexpected gift, and anticipation is high.
While several familiar faces from the men's dressing room will not return, key characters like Ted, Beard, Rebecca, Roy Kent, and Keeley will feature again. The new series redirects attention to the club's women's team.
Free Trial Offer
New subscribers can watch Ted Lasso Season 4 for free with a seven-day Apple TV+ trial. This allows viewers to catch up on previous series before diving into the new episodes. After the trial, the standard £9.99 per month subscription applies.
The trial offer's duration is unclear, so early registration is advised. With Season 4 expected to span ten episodes, the trial effectively covers a significant portion of the season.
Other Streaming Options
Other platforms like NOW and Amazon Prime offer extensive libraries, but they do not include Ted Lasso. NOW currently has a summer promotion at £3.99 per month for six months, while Amazon Prime provides access to shows like Fallout and The Boys.
Apple TV+ customers praise the service in reviews, with one noting, "There are no commercials and everything they make is so worth seeing." Another mentioned, "Loving Apple TV and all it's content. The app is really user friendly and reasonably priced." However, some users have reported occasional sluggish performance and UI issues.
