‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Episode 5 Release Date, Streaming Time, and What to Expect

Fans following the fourth season of ‘Ted Lasso’ are approaching another Wednesday drop, and the details around episode five are already coming into focus. The Apple TV comedy has settled into a steady weekly rhythm since its return, and the next chapter continues Ted’s ongoing adjustment to coaching a newly formed women’s football club in Richmond.

‘Ted Lasso’ season 4 episode 5 is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, according to Rotten Tomatoes’ episode listing for the series. Apple TV describes the show’s premise as an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team, someone who compensates for a lack of technical knowledge with optimism, determination and biscuits. The season has kept a consistent one episode per week pattern since its debut, and episode five continues that structure without interruption.

‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Release Schedule

Apple TV has been releasing one episode of ‘Ted Lasso’ season 4 per week, with official release dates falling on Wednesdays, and the season’s tenth and final episode is set for October 7, 2026. There are no double episode weeks planned for this run. That pacing places episode five squarely in the middle of the season, arriving a full month after the show returned.

The confirmed schedule lists episode one on Wednesday, August 5, titled ‘Home,’ followed by episode two on August 12, episode three on August 19, episode four on August 26, and episode five on September 2. Episodes six and seven follow on September 9 and September 16 respectively, continuing the weekly cadence through the finale in early October.

New episodes technically become available on Apple TV the night before their official Wednesday release date, dropping at 9 p.m. ET or 6 p.m. PT. That means viewers in the United States can expect episode five to actually surface on Tuesday, September 1, even though Apple TV’s own scheduling labels it a September 2 release. Because Apple TV uses a single global release time, viewers in different regions will see the episode land on different calendar dates depending on their location, with UK, European, and Asian audiences generally receiving it later in the day than viewers in the US.

Where to Watch ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4

‘Ted Lasso’ remains exclusive to Apple TV, and the platform offers a seven day free trial for new subscribers before charging its standard rate of 12.99 dollars per month. Viewers looking for a broader streaming library also have the option to bundle Apple TV with Peacock, which comes to 14.99 dollars monthly for the standard bundle or 19.99 dollars for the version that includes Peacock Premium Plus.

Prime Video also offers Apple TV as an add on channel, carrying the same seven day trial and 12.99 dollar monthly price as the standalone app. Regardless of the access point chosen, viewers need an active Apple TV subscription to stream any episode of the series, including all previous seasons. All three prior seasons of ‘Ted Lasso’ remain available on the same platform for anyone catching up before episode five.

The consistency of the release approach has made it simple for longtime viewers to plan their week around new episodes, even as the exact viewing window shifts slightly depending on time zone and whether someone waits for the official date or catches the earlier drop.

What Happens in ‘Ted Lasso’ Episode 5

Specific plot details for episode five had not yet been published through official channels or preview outlets at the time of this writing, but context from the surrounding episodes offers a sense of where the story is heading. Episode four, titled ‘Greyhounds’ Day Off,’ centered on the coaching staff trying to break up cliques forming within the newly assembled roster while Ted adjusted to life away from the locker room.

That episode paired two storylines, with the coaches figuring out how to manage divisions among the players while Ted worked through what his life looks like outside of coaching duties. The episode ran 43 minutes and focused on themes of belonging, connection, and identity beyond the sport itself, with the suggestion that the team’s search for cohesion and Ted’s personal search for footing outside the game were more connected than they first appeared.

Given that setup, episode five looks positioned to build on whatever resolution or complication episode four leaves behind regarding team unity and Ted’s personal adjustment. The broader season sends Ted back to London to coach the AFC Richmond Lady Greyhounds, a second division team dealing with a smaller budget and cramped facilities shared with the men’s side, a structural challenge that has shaped several storylines already.

‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 Cast and New Additions

Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift all return in their familiar roles as Ted Lasso, Rebecca Welton, Keeley Jones, Roy Kent, Coach Beard, and Leslie Higgins. Rotten Tomatoes’ cast listing for episode five confirms the same returning lineup alongside newer additions including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Abbie Hern, Grant Feely, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Faye Marsay.

Among the new arrivals, Grant Feely has stepped into the role of Henry Lasso, replacing Gus Turner, with the character expected to carry a larger presence this season. Tanya Reynolds’ character, Alice Chilton, joins Ted’s coaching staff as part of the expanded team built around the Lady Greyhounds.

Behind the camera, Jack Burditt has joined as executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV, working alongside Sudeikis, Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel. Goldstein also serves as a writer and executive producer for the season, with Bill Lawrence continuing to executive produce through his Doozer Productions banner in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.

With the roster now filled out and the team’s internal dynamics still settling, ‘Ted Lasso’ season 4 episode 5 arrives at a point where both the football and the personal stories around it are still finding their shape. What do you want to see happen next for the Lady Greyhounds and for Ted himself as the season moves past its midpoint?
