Ted Lasso Returns - This Time, With a Women's Football Focus!

After months of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that the hit Apple TV show Ted Lasso will be returning for a highly anticipated fourth season - this time with the title character taking on the role of a women’s team coach!

At the end of the previous season, it appeared that Ted had walked away from management after severing ties with AFC Richmond. Throughout the third season, there were also hints and suggestions among the show’s characters about the possibility of launching a women’s team, with club owner Rebecca Welton and PR consultant Keeley Jones being among those leading the charge for the idea.

Reportedly, this exciting new storyline is set to be explored by the show’s star and writer, Jason Sudeikis. The decision to shift the focus to women’s football marks a refreshing and significant move for the popular series.

It is expected that production will begin in the spring or early summer of this year, though the new season likely won’t be released until early 2026. Despite the long wait, the prospect of seeing women’s football take center stage in such a high-profile comedy-drama is sure to build excitement. Fans of the sport and the show alike will be eager to see how Ted Lasso continues to increase awareness and engagement for women’s football, shining a spotlight on the women’s game in a way that few mainstream shows have done before.
