Ted Lasso Season 4 to Premiere in August 2026

Hannah Waddingham, star of the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, revealed on Sunday that the fourth season is expected to premiere in August 2026, narrowing the previously announced summer window for the show's return.

Speaking to Deadline on the red carpet at the BAFTA Film Awards in London, Waddingham shared the potential release date with some hesitation. "August, I think," she said. "Am I allowed to say August? What if I'm wrong? I think it's August." Apple TV+ had earlier confirmed the season would arrive in summer 2026, but the streaming service did not immediately respond to Waddingham's comments. Production on the new episodes is currently underway in London.

The upcoming season marks a significant shift for the Emmy-winning comedy-drama, which follows the titular American coach navigating English football. Jason Sudeikis reprises his role as Ted Lasso, returning to AFC Richmond to lead a second-division women's team known as the Lady Greyhounds. Waddingham, who plays team owner Rebecca Welton, described the storyline as "a whole different deal with our Lady Greyhounds." She added, "I can't wait for everyone to see what they've come up with."
