What Relegation for AFC Richmond in "Ted Lasso" Season 3 Could Mean for the Team

The third season of “Ted Lasso” is here, and AFC Richmond have made it to the Premier League – the highest level of the English football system. However, the onscreen media is convinced that Richmond will get relegated this year, causing the team to panic. For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of relegation, here is a brief explanation.

The English football league system works on promotion and relegation. At the end of each season in May, the top teams in each league (besides the Premier League) get promoted to the league above them, while the bottom three teams in each league are relegated to the league below them. Points are used to determine standings, with a win worth three points, a draw (or tie) worth one point, and a defeat netting zero points.

It is not an unreasonable prediction that Richmond will be relegated at the end of this season, as many recently promoted clubs do get relegated the next year. It is also difficult to stay in the Premier League, as it is dominated by teams that haven’t typically been relegated in a long time. However, Crystal Palace was relegated in 1998 and returned strongly to the Premier League in 2016, so it is possible for Richmond to do the same.

It is up to Ted (Jason Sudeikis), Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), and Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) to lead Richmond to greatness this season and stay in the Premier League. New episodes of “Ted Lasso” premiere Wednesdays on Apple TV+.
