After the reins of AFC Richmond were left in the hands of Roy and Coach Beard, season three looked set to be the final installment of the Ted Lasso series. However, after a revival from Apple TV, Jason Sudeikis will return to the award-winning comedy as the endlessly optimistic coach, while a host of familiar faces will welcome Lasso back to the UK, having gotten homesick and returning to the States at the end of the last season.

This time, however, the story takes a fresh direction, with Ted returning to England to take charge of a women’s football team in what Apple has described as “his biggest challenge yet.”

The loveable coach first appeared on our screens in August 2020, with Ted Lasso making his very first steps into the English game. A difficult first season saw Richmond get relegated, before securing promotion back to the Premier League the following season.

Season three culminated in Ted’s return to the United States after missing his son, Henry, and assistant coach-turned traitor, Nate Shelley, returning to AFC Richmond after a stint at West Ham United.

Fans of the series, which received the most-ever Emmy Award nominations for a comedy series with its first season, won’t have long to wait before their first glimpse of Ted’s life in the world of women’s football, with the first episode being released on Wednesday 5th August 2026.

It will, however, be a while until we get to see how the season pans out, and if the American coach is able to secure promotion following his return, with fresh installments coming every Wednesday following release, until the tenth and final episode airs on October 7th.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Trailer

The trailer for season four of Ted Lasso confirms the return of fan favorites such as Coach Beard, Roy Kent and Keeley Jones, with the familiar characters welcoming Ted back from the States. But the first look into the new season also introduces us to a group of fresh faces, including a new assistant coach, played by Tanya Reynolds.

The new-look coaching team look to welcome Ted back to English football, while he himself adjusts to the different demands of the women’s game. The sneak-peak also highlights the problems that female footballers face in the modern game, including some outdated and misogynistic views.

Scenes from the trailer also suggest a deeper look into the tiff between long-time love interests Roy and Keeley, whilst the club’s owner, Rebecca Welton, seems to have established a connection of her own.

Ultimately, the new season promises to detail the ups and the downs of Lasso’s return to English football management, the drama and madness associated with AFC Richmond and a group of young and inspired football stars ready to propel AFC Richmond’s women’s team to the top of the football pyramid.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Cast

Season four of Ted Lasso sees the return of many cast members from across the series; Jason Sudeikis returns as the title star and executive producer, with reliable assistant Coach Beard, played by Brendan Hunt, at his side. Emmy Award winner Brett Goldstein retains his role as the ever-dour Roy Kent, whilst Keeley Jones is played by Juno Temple. Once again, Hannah Waddingham portrays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, and Jeremy Swift returns as her assistant, Leslie Higgins.

There is also a host of newcomers to the series, with Tanya Reynolds joining the cast as Ted’s new assistant coach, whilst other roles are set to be played by Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely.

Supporters got their first glimpse of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in Tottenham action on Wednesday evening as they beat MK Dons 1-0.

In the behind-closed-doors match at the club’s Hotspur Way training base, Fernandes grabbed the headlines with his stunning volley from outside the area finding the top corner with only three minutes on the clock.

Fans are now desperate to see more of the Tottenham summer signings in action, with the club now heading off to New Zealand and Australia for their first pre-season tour under Roberto De Zerbi.

The hope will be that more new additions are to follow in the weeks ahead, joining fellow summer signings Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Fernandes and Tonali at the club.

Tottenham are one of several interested clubs in Real Madrid youngster Franco Mastantuono, according to Argentine publication Cronica.

The former River Plate ace only joined Los Blancos for £38.5m in June 2025 but a temporary move away from the Santiago Bernabeu could be in order to increase his playing time.

The 18-year-old, described as ‘one of the biggest talents in world football’ by Florentino Perez, who can play as either a right-winger or attacking midfielder, featured in 23 LaLiga games last term, 11 of which came from the start.

With a loan move without a purchase option now looking likely, Real Madrid are not going to be short on options for their teenager as they assess the best club to continue Mastantuono’s education.

According to Cronica, Fulham are the main interested party and Tottenham have reportedly initiated contacts to find out the conditions of a possible loan deal.

Juventus, Inter Milan, Como, Porto, Benfica, Sporting CP, Villarreal, Rennes, Lyon, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are also believed to be interested in the Argentina international.

Attacking boost

Tottenham now need to improve on their options in attack going into the new season after upgrading their defence and midfield.

Another option on the right-wing would be beneficial to De Zerbi, especially with Wilson Odobert currently sidelined with an ACL injury and question marks over Dejan Kulusevski’s return date after more than a year on the sidelines.

Mohammed Kudus will be targeting a big year on the right after only making two appearances in 2026 due to injury, with Mathys Tel an option to play there if he’s not playing from the left.

Manor Solomon and Yang Min-hyeok are further right-wing options, although transfers away for the pair could come to fruition as they find themselves way down the pecking order.

Mastantuono, who scored three goals for Real Madrid last season, would give De Zerbi further choice on the right if signed and he would also be a contender to play centrally as an attacking midfielder as well.

The FA have released a statement regarding an incident involving two England youth players at a training camp back in October 2025.

Two Three Lions under-16 trainees were involved in a brawl during a training camp, and footage of the fight has recently gone viral on social media. The players involved were actively egged on by their teammates, who were standing around filming the incident.

The scrap has raised concerns about the safeguarding of youngsters on England duty, with many online appalled by the lack of adult supervision around these developing football stars.

The country’s football association has officially responded to the incident, claiming that the matter has been resolved.

Reason for England U16 Fight Revealed

Youth players involved in the development squads for their international teams are regularly taken away from their clubs to train and play against other countries’ youth teams. For England, this involves players from across the country travelling to St. George’s Park, in Staffordshire, for a training camp.

This entails a group of teenagers spending time away from their families in an enclosed environment, and thus, it’s not surprising that untoward events can materialise at these training camps.

In a video that has only recently surfaced online, two England under-16 players, wearing their training kits, appear to be involved in an altercation that escalated into a physical fight. Punches were thrown, while on-watching teammates encouraged the two youngsters engaged in the battle to hurt each other.

The Daily Mail have revealed that the scrap began after one of the two players was teased for owning a Nokia mobile phone.

While this sort of bullying and ensuing physical altercation is typical behaviour for teenagers, many have lamented the staff leading the England camp for not having someone present to step in and prevent this incident from unfolding.

The Daily Mail reached out to the FA to comment on this incident, and the organisation revealed that the matter was resolved internally, and quickly. They said:

With teammates filming the incident, many have suggested that mobile phones should be banned from such camps to prevent this antagonistic behaviour from happening.

Had the England under-16 players not had access to devices that could capture the incident so that they could share it with friends, they might’ve been more inclined to step in and stop the fight from developing.
