Roy Kent: Richmond's legendary, aging captain. He begins as a furious, foul-mouthed veteran holding onto his past glory, but evolves from a terrifying presence into a deeply caring mentor, leader, and ultimate team legend.

Coach Beard: Ted’s stoic, eccentric, and fiercely loyal right-hand man. He is a tactical mastermind who speaks rarely but always holds deep insights.

Ted Lasso: An American college football coach hired to run a British soccer team. He knows nothing about soccer but wins people over with baked goods, folksy wisdom, and his iconic "Believe" sign.

Nathan Shelley: A brilliant but deeply insecure tactician who rises from bullied kit man to assistant coach, transforms into a ruthless rival manager, and ultimately finds redemption by returning to his roots.

Jamie Tartt: Richmond's star striker. He begins as an arrogant, selfish, and spoiled player, but evolves into a supportive teammate and close friend to Roy.

Sam Obisanya: A young Nigerian defender whose sweet, joyful nature and strong ethics make him the emotional heart of the locker room.

Colin Hughes: A Welsh winger whose storyline beautifully explores personal identity and acceptance within professional sports.

Dani Rojas: A hyper-enthusiastic Mexican forward who lives by the simple, infectious motto: "Football is life!"

Isaac McAdoo: A physically imposing defender who takes over as team captain after Roy retires, leading the locker room with tough love.

Thierry Zoreaux: A talented, eccentric French-Canadian goalkeeper who anchors the defense, hilariously rebrands himself as "Van Damme" (and later "Zorro") in Season 3, and brings a steady, reliable energy to the Richmond goal.
