Amazon Prime Video has added the first three episodes of the Apple TV comedy Ted Lasso, starring Jason Sudeikis, to its streaming catalog for subscribers.
The release reported by Marcos Catalan on August 5, 2026, coincides with the premiere of season four of Ted Lasso, which features a women's soccer team. The series follows a coach known for his distinct working methods, focusing on themes of positivity, friendship, overcoming challenges, and different styles of leadership that appeal to both sports fans and general viewers.
The update arrives alongside news for film fans, as the movie El Drama has confirmed its streaming platform and release date. The feature is rated for audiences aged 16 and older and stars Zendaya alongside Robert Pattinson.
Apple TV subscription options
Apple TV maintains exclusive streaming rights for all complete seasons of Ted Lasso, which became one of the largest television phenomena in recent years. Amazon and Apple share a symbiotic relationship that allows select original Apple productions to reach broader audiences before directing viewers back to Apple TV.
Prime Video subscribers can watch the initial three episodes of season one at no additional cost. Viewers who wish to continue watching the series must subscribe to Apple TV directly or add the channel through Prime Video, with eligible new customers able to use a seven-day free trial.
Temporary promotional releases
The collaboration between the platforms extends beyond soccer comedy, as Prime Video users can also stream the complete first season of Silo without an Apple TV subscription. The show ranks among the highest-rated science fiction productions in recent years.
Both Silo and the initial episodes of Ted Lasso are available on Prime Video as temporary promotions. Both series will return to exclusive streaming on Apple TV in the near future.
