Ted Lasso is officially back on Apple TV, but viewers will need to wait each week to follow Ted’s latest chapter. Season 4 premiered with one episode on Wednesday, 5 August 2026. The remaining nine episodes will arrive individually each Wednesday, taking the story through to its October finale. 

When Is the Next Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode?

The next episode of Ted Lasso Season 4 will be released on Apple TV on Wednesday, 12 August 2026. Apple is releasing one new episode each Wednesday rather than making the full season available together. 

How Many Episodes Are in Ted Lasso Season 4?

Ted Lasso Season 4 contains 10 episodes. Only the premiere was released on launch day, giving fans more than two months of weekly episodes before the season concludes on 7 October. 

When Does Ted Lasso Season 4 Finish?

The Ted Lasso Season 4 finale will arrive on Apple TV on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The weekly schedule means the new season will run for 10 consecutive Wednesdays, with no planned breaks currently announced.

What Is Ted Lasso Season 4 About?

Season 4 brings Ted back to Richmond for what Apple describes as his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second-division women’s football team. Ted and his players must learn to take chances they may previously have avoided as they build a new team together. The change begins a fresh football story without leaving Richmond or its familiar characters behind. 

Who Is Returning for Ted Lasso Season 4?

Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted alongside Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift. The season also introduces Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely to the cast. 

For CultureCues, we are delighted to have Ted Lasso back after believing Season 3 could be the end. Moving the focus to a women’s football team gives Ted a completely new challenge, but the return of Rebecca, Keeley, Roy, Beard and Higgins means the heart of the series remains in place. Waiting weekly may test our patience, but having new episodes through to October gives us much more time with AFC Richmond. Believe us, Wednesdays just got much better.

The first episode of Ted Lasso Season 4 is streaming now on Apple TV.
