Ted Lasso Season 4 Release Date: Hannah Waddingham Hints August 2026 Premiere

Ted Lasso Season 4 Premiere: Latest Updates on Release Date and What’s Coming

February 25, 2026 — The wait for more feel-good football (and biscuits) is almost over! Apple TV+’s beloved comedy Ted Lasso is officially returning for Season 4 in summer 2026, with the latest buzz pointing to an August premiere.

Star Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton) spilled the tea during a red carpet interview at the BAFTA Film Awards, casually dropping the month before catching herself: “August, I think… Am I allowed to say August? What if I’m wrong? I think it’s August.”

Apple TV+ has not yet confirmed an exact date or episode count, but the streamer previously announced the season would debut globally this summer. Production has been underway in London since mid-2025, and the show is shaping up as “a whole different deal,” per Waddingham—focusing on Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) coaching a second-division women’s football team, the “Lady Greyhounds.”

Key Details on Ted Lasso Season 4

Premiere Window: Summer 2026, with strong indications of August (per Hannah Waddingham’s recent comments and reports from Deadline, Screen Rant, and others). This timing aligns nicely post the 2026 World Cup, potentially capitalizing on renewed football interest.
Plot Tease: Ted returns to Richmond after his U.S. hiatus, facing his biggest challenge yet: leading a women’s team. Expect fresh dynamics, new characters, and the signature heart, humor, and positivity that made the series a cultural juggernaut.
Cast Returns: Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso, executive producer), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca), Juno Temple (Keeley), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), and more. First-look photos from January 2026 showed Ted with his son (post-recast) and a new assistant coach.
Why the Delay? After Season 3’s 2023 finale (which felt like a potential series end), Apple revived the show due to massive popularity. The three-year gap built huge anticipation, with Emmy wins and global fan love keeping the momentum alive.

Fans are thrilled—social media is buzzing with excitement, memes about “Believe” signs, and speculation on story arcs (Will Rebecca and Keeley team up more? What’s next for Roy?). No official trailer has dropped yet, but Apple typically releases one a few months out.

Stream past seasons on Apple TV+ now to get ready—Ted Lasso remains one of the platform’s biggest hits, blending comedy, drama, and feel-good vibes like no other. Richmond ’til we die! ⚽🍪

Stay tuned for an official premiere date announcement—likely coming soon as production wraps. What are you most excited for in Season 4? 😄
