Breaking: Ted Lasso is lacing up for a summer comeback. I can confirm Apple TV+ has set a Season 4 return window for the Emmy-winning series, and I have seen first-look images that point the story toward women’s soccer. Jason Sudeikis is back on the touchline, and the vibe is both fresh and classic Ted.
Summer Return, Firmed Up
The series will drop this summer. There is no exact date yet, but the runway is set. This is the first official return news since the “was that the end” conversations after Season 3. The truth is simpler. The Greyhounds’ spirit lives on, with a twist that fits the show’s heart.
Season 4 arrives this summer. Jason Sudeikis returns. First-look images tease a move into women’s soccer.
Expect Apple to hold the date and trailer a little longer. That keeps the focus on the big reveal, the pivot to a new pitch.
First Look, New Field
The images I’ve seen tell a clear story. Training bibs in new colors. A stadium tunnel with different signage. Ted on the sideline, a grin that means he is both lost and ready, which is his magic trick. The show is stepping into women’s soccer.

What does that mean? More than a jersey swap. Ted Lasso has always been about people, not scorelines. A move into the women’s game opens fresh space for themes the show already loves. Respect. Voice. Belief that does not have to shout to be powerful. The tone stays warm and funny, but the stakes shift. New locker room energy, new leadership styles, and a world that has been waiting for the spotlight.
Why Women’s Soccer Fits Ted
The series thrives when it lifts underrepresented voices. A women’s team lets the writers talk about access, equity, and pressure without losing the jokes or the hugs. Expect sharper commentary wrapped in kindness, and a few bravura locker room speeches that hit like a clean volley.
What This Means For The Team We Know
Jason Sudeikis is in. That anchors the heart of the show. Around him, look for familiar faces to intersect with the new storyline, even if we do not have a full cast grid yet. The Richmond family is wide. Keeley’s branding savvy, Rebecca’s ownership power, Roy’s blunt honesty, Jamie’s swagger, and Beard’s odd wisdom all make sense in this new chapter. Whether they coach, consult, mentor, or clash, the ingredients are there.
The shift invites new characters too. Rising stars who do not need a savior, veteran captains who run silent but strong, front office sharks who smile with sharp teeth. That mix is catnip for Ted’s style. He wins people over by listening, then nudging, then letting them lead. Expect that playbook to evolve.

What We Know, What We Are Waiting On
Here is the scoreboard so far, clean and simple:
- Summer release window is locked
- Jason Sudeikis returns as Ted
- First-look images point to a women’s soccer storyline
- Plot specifics and full cast are not revealed yet
No trailer yet. No episode count either. The series likes to land emotion first, then details. Do not be surprised if the next beat drops with a date and a short teaser that sets the tone.
Rewatch the Season 3 finale with fresh eyes. There are breadcrumbs about leadership and legacy that now look like a map.
Culture Check, Celebrity Stakes
Ted Lasso has lived bigger than a sitcom for years. It changed how sports comedies talk about mental health. It made kindness feel cool again. A women’s soccer chapter raises the cultural stakes even higher. The global game is surging, and the show is stepping into that energy with intent.
On the celebrity side, Sudeikis returning steadies the franchise. His charm is the glue. A women’s team arc also opens the door for bold guest turns, from football legends to music-world superfans who adore the crest. The show loves a cameo that winks without winking. Keep your eyes on the matchday tunnel.
And the fans? They know the chants, the biscuits, the belief. They have waited for clarity since Season 3. Now they have it. Summer is the target. The ball is on the spot. ⚽
The Bottom Line
Ted Lasso Season 4 is official for summer, and the first-look visuals make the women’s game the next arena for its big heart. Sudeikis is back. The jokes will fly. The lessons will land. The show is not chasing its past, it is expanding its world. That is how you keep a myth alive. New pitch, same belief.
