Mom City

"Mom City" is the eleventh episode of the third season of the American sports comedy-drama television series Ted Lasso, based on the character played by Jason Sudeikis in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of England's Premier League. It is the 33rd overall episode of the series and was written by series co-creator Joe Kelly from a story by co-creators and main stars Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis, and directed by Declan Lowney. It was released on Apple TV+ on May 24, 2023.

The series follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The team's owner, Rebecca Welton, hires Lasso hoping he will fail as a means of exacting revenge on the team's previous owner, Rupert, her unfaithful ex-husband. The previous season saw Rebecca work with Ted in saving it, which culminated with their promotion to the Premier League. In the episode, AFC Richmond is nearing the end of the season and prepares to face Manchester City F.C., while Jamie experiences pressure.

The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and emotional tone. The resolution of Nate's arc, however, divided critics; many felt it was genuine, while others deemed it rushed and unconvincing. Additionally, at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, Phil Dunster and Becky Ann Baker each received a nomination for their performances in the episode, the former for Outstanding Supporting Actor in Comedy Series, while the latter for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
