Ted Lasso Season 4 has reached its finale, and the ending has left fans with several major questions about the future of AFC Richmond. While Apple TV+ has not officially announced a fifth season, the finale creates a clear path for the story to continue.

The fourth season shifted the focus from Richmond’s men’s team to the newly formed Lady Greyhounds, bringing a new group of players and coaches into the story. Jason Sudeikis returned as Ted Lasso, this time helping build a women’s football team.

Has Ted Lasso Season 5 been confirmed?

As of the Season 4 finale, Ted Lasso Season 5 has not been officially renewed by Apple TV+. That means there is currently no confirmed release date or production schedule for another season.

However, the Season 4 ending does not close the door on the series. Instead, several characters finish the season in positions that could naturally lead into another chapter.

That is particularly important for Ted, Beard, Roy and Alice, whose coaching relationships have changed significantly during the fourth season.

What happens to Ted Lasso in the Season 4 finale?

The Season 4 finale, titled “Being Alive,” leaves Ted in a different role from the one fans knew during the original Richmond storyline.

Ted and Coach Beard become assistant coaches to Alice Chilton, who takes charge of the Lady Greyhounds. The change allows Ted to remain involved with the team without returning to the same central coaching position he held earlier in the series.

The development also gives Alice a chance to step forward as a coach in her own right after spending much of the season learning from Ted.

Roy Kent leaves Richmond for Chelsea

One of the biggest changes heading into a possible Ted Lasso Season 5 is Roy Kent’s new job.

Roy accepts a head coaching position at Chelsea, the club where he previously played. His move takes him away from the Richmond dressing room and gives the character a completely different professional challenge.

A potential fifth season could therefore explore Roy managing a major Premier League club while maintaining his connections with Richmond and the people he has worked with.

Alice Chilton becomes the new leader

Alice’s promotion is another major development in the finale.

After working alongside Ted during the season, Alice is promoted to head coach of the women’s team. Ted and Beard move into assistant roles, creating a new coaching structure for the Lady Greyhounds.

This gives the series an opportunity to continue without simply repeating the original Ted Lasso formula. Alice could become the central coaching figure while Ted takes on a more supportive role.

What happens to Rebecca and Keeley?

Rebecca Welton also secures her future as AFC Richmond’s majority owner, keeping her closely connected to the club as its sporting story moves forward.

Meanwhile, Keeley Jones’ story takes another important turn. She is expecting a baby with Roy, adding a major personal storyline that could become part of the show’s next chapter if Apple TV+ orders another season.

The combination of Roy’s move to Chelsea, Keeley’s pregnancy and Rebecca’s continued ownership gives the series several storylines to develop.

Who could return for Ted Lasso Season 5?

If Apple TV+ moves ahead with another season, Jason Sudeikis would be the obvious central return as Ted Lasso. Hannah Waddingham could also return as Rebecca Welton, while Juno Temple’s Keeley Jones remains an important part of the story.

The new season could also continue with Tanya Reynolds as Alice Chilton, Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard and Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent.

Season 4 already introduced a much larger group of Lady Greyhounds players, meaning the series now has a younger ensemble that could carry more of the story in a potential fifth season.

Why Season 5 could look very different

The fourth season deliberately moved Ted Lasso into new territory. Instead of centering the story entirely on AFC Richmond’s men’s team, the series introduced a women’s football team and made its players and coaches the focus.

That change could become even more important if the show returns.

With Alice now leading the Lady Greyhounds, Ted and Beard working as assistants, and Roy starting a new chapter at Chelsea, a fifth season would have the opportunity to expand the Ted Lasso universe rather than simply recreate its earlier seasons.

When could Ted Lasso Season 5 be released?

There is no confirmed release date for Ted Lasso Season 5 because Apple TV+ has not officially announced another season. Any specific premiere date circulating online should therefore be treated as speculation.

Season 4 premiered on August 5, 2026, with new episodes released weekly before the finale on October 7.

For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement before there is confirmation about the show’s next production or release plans.
