If your day runs on Outlook, your team's games should be right there next to your meetings. Adding a sports schedule to Outlook takes a minute, and once it's subscribed it updates itself — no re-importing.

Here's how to do it on Outlook web, desktop, and Microsoft 365.

Why pasting games into Outlook never stays current

Manually adding games — or importing a one-time file — means you're frozen in time. When a kickoff moves or a game's postponed, Outlook has no idea. You'd be back to editing events by hand.

Subscribing to a live feed solves it: the schedule updates on its own.

Add a sports schedule to Outlook on the web

1. Build your feed at build your calendar and copy the subscription link.
2. In Outlook on the web, open Calendar and click "Add calendar."
3. Choose "Subscribe from web" and paste the link.
4. Name it, pick a color, and save.

Outlook desktop and Microsoft 365

On the desktop app, the subscription syncs down automatically once it's on your account — no separate setup. If you use Microsoft 365 at work, the same feed sits alongside your work calendar, so game times never clash with a meeting you forgot about.

What syncs

• Local start time
• Opponent
• Venue
• Competition
• Where to watch — all kept current

Fixing Outlook's refresh frequency

Outlook decides how often it re-checks subscribed calendars, and it can lag. If a new game hasn't appeared, give it a little time or remove and re-add the subscription. (Subscriptions are read-only and safe to re-add anytime.)

Works with Google and Apple too
