‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Episode 5 Release Date and Air Time

The Lady Greyhounds are back on the pitch, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter of ‘Ted Lasso’. Season 4 has already proven to be a ratings powerhouse, and episode five is set to be another significant moment for AFC Richmond’s new women’s squad.

With Jason Sudeikis back in his tracksuit and whistle, the show’s revival continues to gain momentum week after week. Here’s what you need to know about when and where to catch the latest installment.

‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 is rolling out weekly, with episode five officially scheduled to premiere on September 2, 2026. This release aligns with the show’s pattern since its August return, where a new episode drops every week without fail.

Typically, new episodes are available a bit earlier than their official release date suggests. Apple TV has maintained a rollout strategy where episodes actually become accessible the night before the listed release, with the previous episode reportedly hitting the platform around 9 p.m. ET, or 6 p.m. PT, the evening before. This means that fans on the West Coast or throughout the U.S. can often start streaming before the calendar officially changes.

For viewers outside the United States, the timing works out to Wednesday morning across much of Europe and Asia, as the West Coast midnight release effectively becomes the following day elsewhere. This has become a running joke among fans who stay up late to avoid spoilers circulating online.

Season 4 will consist of ten episodes, concluding on October 7, 2026, making episode five roughly the midpoint of the season, a natural juncture for storylines to begin converging.

‘Ted Lasso’ remains an Apple TV exclusive, meaning there is no legal way to watch new episodes anywhere else during their release week. The streamer offers a seven-day free trial for new subscribers, which could allow a patient binge-watcher to catch up on the entire season without spending a dime.

For those who have already used their trial, Apple TV subscriptions start at $12.99 a month in the United States, with regional pricing varying, including approximately $14.99 CAD in Canada and £9.99 in the United Kingdom. Many new Apple hardware purchases also come with a few free months of the service, helping some fans discover the show by chance.

There is currently no indication that ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 will be simulcast or released on any other platform. Apple has kept the series as one of its flagship original productions since its inception, and that exclusivity does not seem to be changing for this comeback season.

Season 4 has shifted the entire premise of the show, with Ted returning to England specifically to coach the Richmond Lady Greyhounds instead of the men’s team fans followed for three seasons. The earlier episodes established the rocky beginnings of that team, including tryouts to fill out the roster and shareholders who were openly skeptical about funding a women’s club.

By episode four, the narrative had shifted toward the coaching staff working to break up cliques forming within the new locker room, a classic ‘Ted Lasso’ setup that combines sports drama with the show’s signature warmth. Episode five is expected to continue developing that team-building arc as the Greyhounds approach their first real test as a unit.

Familiar faces including Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, Juno Temple as Keeley Jones, Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, and Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins remain part of the ensemble, alongside newcomers like Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, and Grant Feely, who has taken on the role of Henry Lasso with an expanded presence this season.

Critics have responded positively to the revival so far, with the season premiere reportedly becoming the most-watched debut in the platform’s history, indicating that audience interest in Ted’s optimism has not diminished during the three-year hiatus.

With five episodes left after this one, ‘Ted Lasso’ still has plenty of time to develop its new characters while resolving threads left hanging since Roy Kent took charge of the men’s team and Keeley first proposed the idea of a women’s club to Rebecca. The latter half of the season, leading up to the October 7 finale, is expected to bring those storylines to a climax.

Fans have already speculated about which original cast members might make surprise appearances as the season unfolds, and the show’s writers have left ample room for callbacks, given how thoroughly Season 3 wrapped up loose ends before this unexpected return.

For now, all eyes are on September 2 as the next milestone in Richmond’s journey, with the Lady Greyhounds’ story just beginning.
