I don't know what is going on, and I have tried to change my time zones in Outlook.Office365.com around to see if that fixes the issue. I use Outlook's Interests/Sports Calendar for sporting events going on in and around Seattle. When I added the sports teams to the calendar, I am getting the wrong start times. (I would include a screenshot, but the system would not allow to me insert image.) Example: May 19th, 2023, the Mariners are at Atlanta with a start time of 11:20PM PST per the calendar I selected through Outlook. The MLB schedule reads 4:20PM PST ( https://www.mlb.com/mariners/schedule/2023-05 ). Example: May 21th, 2023, the Sounders are playing Vancouver with a start time of 2:30AM PST per the calendar I selected through Outlook. The MLS schedule reads May 20th, 2023 at 7:30PM PST ( https://www.soundersfc.com/schedule/#competition=all&date=2023-05-20 ). Please look into this bug and correct as soon as possible. Otherwise these Outlook provided calendars are useless.

UPDATE: I erased my previous post, as I played around a little more and you have to hit the right button in the calendar UI to get to a real picker for the timezone, otherwise it's just a search box that doesn't understand UTC. If you only have the search box like I did when I started, there is a small blue link that lets you 'Browse time zones', from which you can then choose UTC like the typical Windows picker. It doesn't seem to want to give me that option again or I'd take a screenshot of it. But you have to type something in the box first that it can't find to give you that option:

I got it! I removed my team (GB Packers) from my online outlook calendar by clicking the 3 dots on the side and clicking "Remove" (don't just unselect the calendar by clicking the circle on the left). In calendar settings, I changed my calendar time zone to UCT 0:00, clicked Save, then clicked Update (be sure to click both). I added the Packers calendar back in. I then went back into the calendar settings, changed my time zone back to my real one, clicked Save and then clicked Update. Inf*&%ingcredible!!! This is it. Solved. Finally. It really shouldn't have been that hard, but I'm glad you figured it out and thank you so much for sharing. I was about to unsub from this thread as I had lost hope. Thanks again!

Congratulations! This is a great solution to an issue that should never have arisen. While I have already jumped ship and will continue to use the more stable solution supplied by roktcalendar.com; (which also offers a larger suite of other leagues that I follow), I am glad that this can now be put to rest. I fear that Microsoft will make another change in the near future that will break this solution and we shall all meet again! Good luck everybody and congratulations again on everybody's continued persistence.....even if Microsoft doesn't really care.

Ugh - that worked for me initially last evening, but noticed this morning everything reverted to 4 hours off/ahead again.....

Outlook/Bing Calendars are Hours Off
