Ted Lasso is coming back for Season 3, and this trailer will have you counting the days!
Ted Lasso fans, the time is finally here! Apple TV just dropped a full trailer ahead of the Season 3 premiere on March 15, and you’re going to want to get your tissues ready now.
The new trailer, which is set to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, doesn’t give away too much about the third season’s plot, but does hint at plenty of heartwarming moments, which is all we want from Ted Lasso anyway, TBH. In one particularly tear-inducing moment, the team huddles up in the locker room to do their pre-game cheer, led by Sam: “On 3, I love you all so very much!”
This official trailer comes just a few weeks after Apple first announced the March 15 premiere date and dropped a surprise teaser trailer (which is also very enjoyable).
The teaser shows the whole AFC Richmond crew in the locker room, with each member making their own version of Ted’s iconic “Believe” sign to hang up and surprise their coaches. It’s bad news for the national Kleenex supply that Apple has given us exactly one minute of footage for season 3, and we’re already tearing up. Bring on more Ted Lasso!
Fans will recall that Season 2 of Ted Lasso ended on a major cliffhanger, with the realization that Nathan had left AFC Richmond to coach rival club West Ham. Throughout Season 2, we saw Ted struggle with his personal demons (and finally give therapy a shot), while he failed to notice Nate’s growing resentment at the amount of unrecognized work he was doing for the Richmond team as an assistant coach. Well, it’s all come to a head, and we can expect to see that drama play out in Season 3 when it premieres this spring.
Several weeks ago, Apple dropped a first-look photo from the upcoming season, which shows an intense-looking Nathan facing off with Ted, who is, of course, all smiles. It’s nice to see that some things never change.
Ahead of Season 3, the cast and crew are staying tight-lipped about what viewers can expect. On a recent panel, Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence said, “I’ve seen cuts, and it’s fucking amazing,” but declined to offer any other details. It’s pretty widely believed, however, that the third season will be the last. Star Jason Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly last year that he saw a three-season arc being just right for Ted Lasso—though he’d be open to doing more of the show. Sadly, co-star and writer Brett Goldstein has mentioned that the third season is being written as a “curtain call.”

Even if Season 3 is the end of Ted Lasso, the show will have had quite a run by then. It’s one of the most popular series Apple TV has ever produced, racking up 40 Emmy nominations (and 11 wins) in its first two seasons.
