Did AFC Richmond get promoted in Season 2? Which league are they in at the start of Season 3?
Yes. In Season 3, Ted Lasso’s club is back in the Premier League. In the Season 2 finale, AFC Richmond faces off against Brentford in the Championship League final, with a chance to earn promotion to the Premier League. After a hard-fought match, AFC Richmond wins 2-1, and they finally achieve their goal of promotion to the Premier League.
The season ends with the team celebrating their victory, while also looking ahead to the challenges that await them in the Premier League.
While the victory is a significant achievement for the AFC Richmond team, it is bittersweet for Coach Ted Lasso, who has to deal with the fallout from the actions of his former assistant coach, Nate. In the season, Nate experiences a crisis of confidence, feeling undervalued and unappreciated by the team. He leaves the team to join a rival club, West Ham, headed by Rupert Mannion.
