American football coach Ted Lasso is hired by a wealthy divorcée to coach the English soccer team AFC Richmond.

It's Ted's first day of coaching, and fans aren't happy. He makes little headway but remains undeterred as the team plays its first match.

To arrange an in-depth exposé, Rebecca pairs cynical journalist Trent Crimm with Ted for a day. Ted and Roy venture into the community.

Rebecca hosts the team's annual charity benefit, where Ted stages a reconciliation between Roy and Jamie.

With his wife and son visiting from America, Ted makes drastic changes to the lineup during a critical match.

When Jamie refuses to train, Ted turns to talented new signing Dani Rojas—and the team is struck by an age-old curse.

Ted and Roy are both having relationship problems. Ted consults the Diamond Dogs while Roy has a talk with Keeley.

After a series of mistakes on the pitch, pressure mounts to bench Roy. Rebecca drops a bombshell.

Richmond plays a climactic match that will determine the fates of Ted and his club.
