One of the few silver linings of 2020 was the release of Ted Lasso, an absolute gem of a comedy series that came seemingly out of nowhere on Apple TV+.

Starring Jason Sudeikis in the title role of an American football coach who's hired to coach a professional soccer team across the pond—despite having no experience at all with soccer—the show is heartwarming, razor-sharp and endlessly surprising, not to mention a dream for any Anglophile. The ensemble cast also includes Juno Temple, Hannah Waddingham, Anthony Stewart Head, Phil Dunster, and Brett Goldstein.

If you're yet to experience the utter joy of Ted Lasso, there's no time like the present, because the season 2 is currently airing, and the show just snapped up 20 Emmy nominations. Here's exactly how to get caught up.

Ted Lasso is an AppleTV+ original, meaning it's available exclusively on Apple's streaming platform. That's not likely to change any time soon, so if you want to watch, you'll need a subscription. But if you're wary of forking out yet another monthly subscription fee for yet another streaming platform, we get it—and there are a few ways around that.

Every new user can sign up for a free seven-day trial of Apple TV+, which is plenty of time to binge the whole first season. If you enjoy the service, you can sign up for just $4.99 a month (which is cheaper than most competitor platforms like Netflix, Disney+, etc.).

But there are also ways to get a lengthier free trial. If you're in the market for a new Apple device right now—say a laptop, tablet or phone – you'll get an entire free year of Apple TV+ included with your purchase.
