The long-awaited return of Ted Lasso is finally here, with the premiere episode of the show’s much-anticipated fourth season now available to Apple TV subscribers. More than three years after the season 3 finale, the first episode streams on Apple TV.

Apple promoted the comeback with a surprise appearance by Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt as Ted and Coach Beard during the World Cup final, and a look‑alike competition on Thursday, August 6, at the Apple Fifth Avenue Plaza in New York. If you want to avoid spoilers, watch the episode now.

The synopsis says Ted returns to Richmond to coach a second‑division women’s football team, learning to leap before they look. The season will consist of 10 episodes airing through October 7, 2026, marking the start of a three‑season run. New cast members include Tanya Reynolds and Paloma Cinco, the latter being Cristo Fernandez’s real‑life sister.

Apple TV costs $12.99 per month or is included in the Apple One bundle, offering shows such as Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo. The series returns with most of the original cast, continuing Ted’s journey as he guides the women’s team through new challenges.
