What is an iCal subscription?

An iCal subscription is a live URL that your calendar app checks periodically for updates. Unlike a static .ics file download, a subscription keeps your calendar in sync automatically. When NBA games are rescheduled, the feed updates and your calendar reflects the change.

SportsCal updates the feed within minutes of any NBA schedule change. How quickly your calendar app picks up the change depends on its refresh interval — Google Calendar checks every 12-24 hours, Apple Calendar every few hours, Fantastical can be configured for more frequent checks.
