How to Add the Premier League to Apple Calendar (Without the Headache)
Premier League games kick off at 7:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and 12:30 PM Eastern on weekends. If you're following Arsenal, Liverpool, or any other club from the US, those are tough times to keep track of without some help.
The good news: Apple Calendar handles sports subscriptions perfectly, and once it's set up you'll never miss a kickoff again. Here's exactly how to do it.
Why Apple Calendar Works Great for Soccer
Apple Calendar on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac all sync through iCloud. Subscribe once on your phone and the schedule appears everywhere — including your Mac calendar, your watch face complications if you use an Apple Watch, and Siri suggestions ("Your next Arsenal game is Saturday at 10 AM").
Step-by-Step Setup
- Go to sportscal.io/league/premier-league on your iPhone
- Find your team and tap Add to Apple Calendar
- iOS will ask if you want to subscribe — tap Subscribe
- Your next 10 games appear immediately (free preview)
- For the full season, upgrade to Premium and every remaining fixture is in your calendar automatically
That's genuinely it. No app downloads, no account with the Premier League, no manual updating.
What You Get in Each Calendar Event
Each match shows up as a full calendar event with:
- The fixture (e.g., "Liverpool vs Arsenal")
- Kickoff time in your timezone — so if you're in LA and the game kicks off at 7:30 AM ET, your calendar shows 4:30 AM PT
- A Watch Link that takes you directly to Peacock, USA Network, or NBC Sports — wherever that specific game airs
Which PL Games Are on Peacock vs NBC?
This trips up a lot of US fans. Here's the rough guide:
- Peacock: Most 3:00 PM Saturday kickoffs (the "Super Saturdays"), plus some weekday fixtures
- USA Network / NBC Sports: Select broadcast matches, typically featuring the top-six clubs
- NBC (free): Occasional featured matches
- Telemundo: Spanish-language coverage of select matches
The Watch Link in your calendar event tells you exactly where each game airs — you don't have to memorize any of this.
Does It Update When Games Move?
Yes. Premier League games get rescheduled all the time — European competition, weather postponements, VAR-related schedule changes (kidding, but only slightly). Because SportsCal uses a live subscription URL rather than a static file, your calendar updates automatically when anything changes.
