How often does the iCal feed update?

SportsCal updates the feed multiple times daily, and immediately when schedule changes occur — flex scheduling, rain delays, playoff bracket updates, and new game announcements are reflected right away. How quickly your calendar picks up the change depends on your app: Google Calendar refreshes roughly every 12-24 hours, Apple Calendar every few hours, and apps like Fantastical can be configured to check more frequently.

Can I use the iCal URL in Fantastical, Thunderbird, or other apps?

Yes. SportsCal generates a standard .ics subscription URL compatible with any calendar app that supports the iCal format — Fantastical, Thunderbird, Proton Calendar, Fastmail, Zoho Calendar, and any CalDAV client.

What's included in each calendar event?

Every event includes the full team matchup (home vs away), date and time converted to your local timezone, the venue or stadium, and a direct watch link to the streaming service or broadcast network carrying the game (Peacock, ESPN+, Paramount+, Prime Video, and more).

Q: Is the ICS feed compatible with CalDAV?

Yes. The SportsCal .ics feed follows the iCalendar standard (RFC 5545) and works with any CalDAV-compatible server or client, including Nextcloud, Radicale, Baikal, and DAVx⁵ on Android.

What is an iCal subscription?

iCal (also called ICS or iCalendar) is a universal calendar format that every major app supports. When you subscribe to an .ics URL, your calendar app polls it for changes automatically. If a game gets rescheduled, a playoff matchup is set, or a flex schedule kicks in — the update shows up on your calendar without you doing anything.

SportsCal publishes live iCal feeds for 400+ teams across 20+ leagues. Each event includes the matchup, kickoff time in your timezone, venue, and a direct watch link to the service carrying the broadcast. You can also combine teams into a single Calendar Collection — one URL for everything you follow.
