Ted Lasso returns to Apple TV+ on Wednesday, 5 August 2026, and new subscribers can watch the new season without paying upfront thanks to a seven-day free trial.
The beloved comedy-drama, which became a global phenomenon, is back after more than three years. Season 3 wrapped in 2023 and was widely thought to be the final chapter, but Apple confirmed last year that AFC Richmond would return, to fans' relief and excitement.
What to Expect in Season 4
Season 4 shifts focus from the men's team to the club's women's side, with some familiar faces not returning. However, Ted, Beard, Rebecca, Roy Kent, and Keeley will all be back.
The show's return carries a genuine sense of occasion, and audiences are ready to Believe again.
Free Trial and Pricing
Apple TV+ is offering a seven-day free trial, allowing viewers to catch up on all previous seasons before diving into the new one. After the trial, the standard subscription fee of £9.99 per month applies. With Season 4 expected to run ten episodes, watching the first episode or two during the trial effectively saves ten per cent on the full run.
The offer's availability is uncertain, so signing up sooner is advisable.
Other Streaming Deals
NOW (formerly NOW TV) has a summer deal: newcomers can get six months of TV for £3.99 per month instead of £13.99 per month. This includes shows like Sinners, They Will Kill You, and House of the Dragon.
Amazon Prime offers access to Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, Reacher, and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, plus delivery and music benefits. However, these services do not offer Ted Lasso.
Customer Feedback
One Apple TV+ customer on TrustPilot said: "There are so many things to watch and the quality is exceptional. At the end of the day I think I will just keep Apple TV as my main streaming service." Another added: "There are no commercials and everything they make is so worth seeing." A third said: "Loving Apple TV and all it's content. The app is really user friendly and reasonably priced."
Some users reported slow functions. One said: "Apple TV has a few good shows such as Slow Horses and Severance but the weekly drop and inadequate User Interface are off-putting. I'm currently on Silo Episode 3 and, after an absence, wish to start again at Ep 1 but there's no way to do this."
