Jason Sudeikis Joins World Cup Kickoff

Jason Sudeikis, the man behind Ted Lasso, is officially stepping into the global spotlight as a FIFA World Cup ambassador for 2026, kicking off the tournament before the U.S. men’s team plays their first game. He’ll headline a star-studded pre-game party with Katy Perry and Future, proving how far soccer’s reached in America. This isn’t his first rodeo with U.S. Soccer—he even sent motivational Ted Lasso letters to the team before the last World Cup, which went viral on billboards. Meanwhile, Sudeikis is everywhere this summer, starring in Nike and Visa ads alongside LeBron and Ronaldo. And if you’re craving more Ted Lasso? The new season drops on Apple TV Plus August 5th—just after the World Cup finals on July 19th. Expect plenty of Ted vibes this summer.
