Add your team's schedule to your calendar
Your league sent you a calendar link for your team. Add it once and every game shows up in the calendar app you already use, and the games update themselves when the league moves one. The link looks like https://www.thefieldslate.com/calendar/… or starts with webcal://.
Don't have a link? Ask your coach or league — it isn't on this page.
Same-day changes still come from the league.
Calendar apps check for updates on their own schedule, not the moment something changes. Apple usually checks within a few hours; Google Calendar can take up to a day. So a rainout called at 2pm may not reach your phone before a 4pm game. Treat the calendar as your season overview, and the league's message as the word on today.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
- Tap the link that starts with webcal:// in the message from your coach.
- Your phone opens the Calendar app and asks whether to subscribe. Tap Subscribe.
- Tap Done. The team's games now appear in your calendar.
If tapping the link does nothing, copy the https:// version instead and go to Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste it.
Google Calendar
This has to be done from a computer, at calendar.google.com. The Google Calendar phone app can't add a calendar from a link. Once it's added on the computer, it shows up in the phone app on its own.
- On a computer, open calendar.google.com and sign in.
- In the left column, next to Other calendars, click the +.
- Choose From URL.
- Paste the https:// link from your coach and click Add calendar.
- On your phone, open the Google Calendar app, go to Settings, tap your account, and make sure the new calendar is switched on.
Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, often several hours and sometimes up to a day. Changes will arrive; they just won't be instant.
Android
Most Android phones use Google Calendar, so follow the Google Calendar steps above from a computer; the calendar then appears in the phone app. If you use Samsung Calendar or another app that's signed in with a Google account, the same applies.
Outlook
- Open Outlook on the web (outlook.com or your Microsoft 365 account) and go to Calendar.
- Choose Add calendar, then Subscribe from web.
- Paste the https:// link from your coach, give the calendar a name, and click Import.
The Outlook desktop and phone apps pick up the calendar from your account. Outlook refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, usually within a few hours.
Skylight (family wall calendar)
- Open the Skylight app.
- Go to Synced Calendars → Sync new calendar → Calendar URL.
- Paste the https:// link from your coach (not the webcal one).
Games appear on the Skylight and update on Skylight's own refresh schedule.
Questions
- A game says CANCELLED. Is it rained out?
- Yes — a cancelled game stays on your calendar, crossed out, rather than disappearing. If the league reschedules it, the same game moves to its new time.
- The link says it isn't recognized or was replaced.
- The league issued a new link for your team. Ask your coach for the current one and add it the same way.
- Are playoff games included?
- Not yet. Regular-season games only, for now.
- Who can see my team's schedule?
- Anyone with the link — the same as a printed schedule. It contains team names, dates, times and fields, plus a field's street address when the league has entered one, and nothing about players, coaches or families.
- Can I add it to a shared family calendar?
- Add it on each person's account, or on the account your family shares. A subscribed calendar belongs to the account that added it.
- Can parents get the schedule on their phones?
- Yes, on Pro and Elite. Every team gets its own calendar link once its division's schedule is locked. Families add it to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook once, and games stay current as the schedule changes, including moves and cancellations. Calendar apps check for updates on their own schedule, sometimes only every several hours, so same-day changes like rainouts should still come from the league too.
- Does the calendar link work with Skylight or other family calendars?
- Yes. FieldSlate's team calendar link is a standard subscription link, so any calendar that can add a calendar by URL can use it. On a Skylight, open the Skylight app, go to Synced Calendars, choose Sync new calendar, then Calendar URL, and paste the team's https link. Game changes then flow to the family's wall calendar on Skylight's refresh schedule.
