Which fictional club remains central to Ted Lasso season 4’s football world?

AFC Richmond remains central to Ted Lasso season 4’s football world.

AFC Richmond is the fictional English club Ted is hired to coach after arriving from the United States. The club’s players, staff, supporters, and owner form the main community around which the series builds its comedy and emotional storylines.

West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City are real football clubs. Tottenham is especially easy to confuse with Ted Lasso because Ted first appeared in a promotional NBC Sports video connected with Tottenham, but AFC Richmond is the fictional club in the Apple TV+ series. Season 4 broadens the story with a women’s team while retaining the Richmond identity.
