Apple TV's new 'Ted Lasso' season 4 teaser confirms major women's team plot point

Apple TV has released a new teaser for the highly anticipated fourth season of Ted Lasso, confirming a significant storyline shift for the beloved comedy series.

The teaser, unveiled on March 6, 2026, shows Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) sitting at his desk reading a book on women's soccer, officially confirming that Ted Lasso Season 4 will follow Ted and his closest confidante as they coach a new women's division at AFC Richmond. The plot point had been rumored since the season was announced but is now verified by the footage.

Apple TV officially confirmed Ted Lasso would return for a fourth season last year, following an abrupt end after three seasons that shocked fans worldwide. The show, which originally premiered in 2020, became the flagship series that persuaded many subscribers to join Apple TV, consistently remaining on the platform's most-watched charts even in the years since it went off the air.

Ted Lasso hails from creator Bill Lawrence and follows a former American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) who finds himself across the pond coaching the fictional football team AFC Richmond in the Premier League. The feel-good comedy has garnered critical acclaim and a devoted global fanbase throughout its run.

The new season is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV in August 2026. While specific plot details remain limited beyond the women's team confirmation, fans can expect the signature warmth and humor that made the series a cultural phenomenon.

In the meantime, Apple TV continues to offer a robust lineup of original programming. Bill Lawrence's other Apple TV show, Shrinking, is enjoying success on the platform, alongside Hijack, the thriller starring Idris Elba that is currently concluding its sophomore season. All episodes from the first three seasons of Ted Lasso remain available for streaming on Apple TV ahead of the August premiere.
