"La Locker Room Aux Folles" is the ninth 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 31st overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Chuck Hayward, and directed by Erica Dunton. It was released on Apple TV+ on May 10, 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, tensions arise between Colin and Isaac after the latter discovers the former's sexuality.
The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Billy Harris' performance and Colin's storyline, but criticized the episode's writing and Nate's subplot.
