Ted Lasso became more than just a television series; it was a cultural phenomenon that reminded audiences of the power of kindness, teamwork, and believing in something bigger than yourself. From Ted’s iconic “Believe” sign in the locker room to his heartfelt speeches on the pitch, the show captured hearts with its blend of humor and humanity.

Many scenes, like Ted walking through Richmond’s charming streets or rallying his team at Nelson Road Stadium, felt so authentic that viewers assumed they were real places. But where were these iconic moments actually filmed?

Much of Ted Lasso is set and filmed in the picturesque London borough of Richmond, a leafy suburb known for its historic charm and riverside views. Real-life locations like Richmond Green, a 12-acre public park, served as the backdrop for Ted’s morning jogs and reflective moments. The cobblestoned Paved Court, lined with boutique shops and cafes, doubled as the exterior of Ted’s apartment building.

Fans can also visit The Prince’s Head pub on Richmond Green, which became The Crown & Anchor in the series, where Greyhounds supporters gather to watch matches. Twickenham Rowing Club, just across the river, was transformed into the bench where Phoebe, Roy, and Keeley shared emotional conversations.

But the football action required more than just quaint streets and pubs.

Selhurst Park the home of Nelson Road Stadium

While AFC Richmond’s home ground, Nelson Road Stadium, is fictional, its on-screen counterpart is very real: Selhurst Park, the historic home of Premier League club Crystal Palace. Located in South London, the stadium hosted all of Richmond’s home match scenes, from thrilling goals to tense penalty shootouts.

The production team worked closely with Crystal Palace to film on the pitch and in the stands, even incorporating the club’s iconic “EAGLES” seating into wide shots. In Season 3, additional Premier League stadiums like Old Trafford, Turf Moor, Emirates Stadium, and the City of Manchester Stadium were used for away matches, adding authenticity to the league’s portrayal.

Selhurst Park’s atmosphere and architecture made it the perfect stand-in for Nelson Road, grounding the show’s football sequences in reality.

Yet the team’s training sessions took place at a different venue entirely.

AFC Richmond’s training ground

AFC Richmond’s training complex, complete with locker rooms, Rebecca’s office, and the team’s practice pitch, was filmed at the SkyEX Community Stadium in Hayes, home to semi-professional club Hayes & Yeading United. This location served as the hub for behind-the-scenes drama, from Ted’s tactical whiteboard sessions to the players’ emotional breakthroughs.

The stadium’s modest scale matched the show’s depiction of Richmond as a mid-table club fighting for relevance. Its proximity to West London Film Studios, where many interior scenes were shot, made logistics easier for the production. The SkyEX Stadium became synonymous with the team’s growth, mirroring their journey from underdogs to contenders.

But not all of the show’s pivotal moments happened on English soil.

West London Film Studios

Most of Ted Lasso’s indoor scenes, including the locker rooms, press conference rooms, and office interiors, were filmed at West London Film Studios in Hayes. This facility provided the controlled environment needed for complex emotional scenes, such as Ted’s therapy sessions and the team’s strategy meetings.

The studios have also hosted productions like Peep Show and Bridget Jones’s Baby, making them a trusted hub for British television. Set designers meticulously recreated the look and feel of a Premier League club, ensuring every detail matched the show’s tone. The studios allowed the production to blend authenticity with creative flexibility, bringing the world of AFC Richmond to life.

Yet one episode took the cast and crew far beyond London’s limits.

Amsterdam and Wembley: Expanding the Football World

While most of Ted Lasso was filmed in and around London, key episodes ventured further afield. In Season 3, the team traveled to Amsterdam for a match against Ajax, with scenes shot at the Johan Cruyff Arena and other city landmarks. The FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City was filmed at Wembley Stadium, adding grandeur to the show’s climactic moments.

Fulham’s Craven Cottage also appeared as Everton’s Goodison Park in earlier seasons. These locations expanded the show’s football universe, reinforcing the global stakes of the Premier League. Each new venue brought fresh energy and visual variety, keeping the on-field action dynamic and engaging.

With Season 4 now concluded and talks of a potential Season 5 already underway, fans are eager to see which new stadiums and cities might join the Ted Lasso map next.
