sports calendars not showing

I select various sports teams, but their schedules don't show in my calendar. Does this no longer work. I even got an email on the new outlook where it promotes this. I used to have a college football team, an MLB team and another team in my calendar, (and yes, the checkbox is selected), but no schedule appears... I even tried to import from the college teams website with a url link and Outlook wouldn't accept it.

Here's the email I received today, promoting this feature, which isn't working...

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    I have the exact same issue - this is frustrating. I wish you could subscribe and then forget about it, like you can with Google Calendar. I subscribed years ago to my favorite team and I haven't had to touch it since. But with Outlook's calendar it seems like i have to troubleshoot with a few times a year.

    Suggestions 1-3 are all affirmative answers. I will post two photos below, the first my Outlook Calendar where I have the same sports teams selected in and yet none of them show up. The second one is my Google Calendar where I have the same sports teams selected and they appear. I want to use Outlook, but when it says it can include those, and even goes through Outlooks add sports calendar in the settings and nothing shows up, it makes it hard to use. If I want to schedule an appointment but see it's during one of those times when the Huskers are playing, I know to avoid that time slot. That's just one example. Doesn't matter if Outlook is restarted or not. Nor does it matter if I use the Android version of Outlook, the web version, the desktop new Windows 11 version or my ipad iOS version. What's disappointing is that they used to do appear.

    Suggestion 4 - defeats the whole purpose, especially for baseball, and in the past, any changes a team made to their schedule automatically updated in the calendar.

    Suggestion 5 - I have tried to use downloadable ics files from Nebraska Husker schedule and while it downloads, in new Outlook, I tried to add from the downloaded file and it doesn't accept it. All of my applications and Windows are updated. I check them daily.

    As noted, I want to use Outlook, but when an advertised feature doesn't work as it should, it makes it hard to use it, so I've gone back to my google calendar since I have an android phone. As I mentioned in my first post, Outlook is even sending out emails advertising that it can do this, but it's not working. I'll post the picture below once more of the screenshot that I took of the email showing that is will add sports schedules...

    Just letting you know I have the same issue. Worked last year, but not this year. I'm using the new Outlook calendar, but even when I switched back to the Original calendar it didn't make a difference. Is there a problem with Outlook an their Sports calendars or is it something I'm doing?

    I concur, Rob. Frustrating, isn't it. Would be nice to have Microsoft take some ownership in this and at least update us on what they're doing to address this issue.....or not doing. After all, the college football season is already underway and the NFL is about to begin. Thought I could rely on the MSN sports calendars.

    Same issues here. This is a complete MS failure. I have multiple teams from multiple leagues that used to appear and MS outlook was my go to calendar app - not anymore.

    If youre advertising something and that something does NOT work, you should get a team on it to fix it quickly.
