Home (Ted Lasso)

Home, the fourth season premiere (episode 35) of the acclaimed comedy Ted Lasso, premiered on Apple TV+ on August 5, 2026, written by co-creator Joe Kelly and directed by Declan Lowney. The episode catches up with Ted (Jason Sudeikis) a couple of years later, living in Kansas City as a grocery-store cashier and co-parenting his son Henry, until Rebecca, Keeley, and Higgins arrive with a surprise proposition. They reveal the club has started a new women's team and, facing severe financial trouble, want Ted to take over as head coach—a role he initially resists before seeking his family's approval. Amid the recruitment, Higgins finds inspiration at the Negro League Baseball Museum, and Ted's ex-wife and son surprisingly endorse a move back to London, setting up a new chapter for the family. Critics gave the episode generally positive reviews, praising the tone and performances, though some found the pacing slow, while Sudeikis noted the narrative allows Ted to stop "hiding out" and rediscover his love for the game.
