New York, NY, June 25, 2026 – The Paley Museum, where media, sports, gaming, and entertainment come together, announced its latest PaleyLive event—Ted Lasso Returns! An Exclusive Evening with the Cast of Season 4. The PaleyLive program presented by Citi® celebrates the long-awaited return of the Emmy Award– winning series and includes a screening of the season 4 premiere and a first look at episode 2, followed by a conversation with the cast and creative team. The event takes place at The Paley Museum in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday, August 6 at 8:00 pm.

“It has been three years since fans last cheered on Ted Lasso and the beloved AFC Richmond squad, and we are thrilled to welcome them back to the pitch for this can’t-miss event at The Paley Museum,” said Maureen J. Reidy, President & CEO, The Paley Center for Media. “The evening promises to be filled with laughter and plenty of Richmond spirit, and we extend our tremendous thanks to our friends at Apple TV and Citi for their support.”

In the upcoming fourth season of Ted Lasso, premiering globally on Apple TV on August 5, Ted (Jason Sudeikis) returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.
