How to subscribe
Your calendar link is a live subscription, not a file you import once. Subscribe once and new knockout games, time changes and your edited team picks all flow in automatically.
iPhone & iPad (Apple Calendar)
- Tap Add to Apple Calendar on your calendar page.
- iOS shows a “Subscribe to calendar” dialog — tap Subscribe.
- Done. To control refresh frequency: Settings → Apps → Calendar → Accounts → your subscription → Fetch.
Also works on Mac: the same button opens Calendar with a subscribe prompt.
Google Calendar
- On a computer, click the Google Calendar button — Google opens an “Add calendar” prompt. Confirm it.
- Alternatively: in Google Calendar go to Settings → Add calendar → From URL and paste your calendar link.
- The calendar syncs to the Google Calendar app on your phone automatically.
On your phone?The Google Calendar mobile app can't add subscription links — that screen only exists on the desktop site. Use the Email me the linkbutton and add it next time you're at a computer; it then appears on your phone too.
Heads-up: Google refreshes subscribed calendars roughly once a day, so knockout games can take up to ~24h to appear there. Apple Calendar and Outlook refresh more often.
Outlook
- Click the Outlook.com button, or
- In Outlook on the web: Add calendar → Subscribe from web, paste your calendar link, name it, and add.
Android
Google Calendar on Android has the same limitation as on iPhone — add the subscription once from a computer and it syncs to your phone. If you use another calendar app (e.g. Samsung Calendar synced to Google), the same applies: subscribe via Google on desktop.
Why not just download a file?
A downloaded .ics file is a snapshot: knockout games would show as “TBD” forever and schedule changes would never reach you. A subscription is a living calendar — when your team makes the quarter-finals, the game just appears.
