sports calendars not showing

Dear Rob Kuefner1,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

Based on your description, it seems that the sports schedule integration in Outlook is experiencing some issues.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:

1. Have you checked to ensure the teams you've selected are correctly checked in your calendar settings?
2. Have you checked to make sure the specific sports calendars are visible in your calendar view? You might need to adjust the calendar options to display them.
3. Have you checked if your Outlook account is syncing properly? Try restarting the Outlook application or your device.
4. While time-consuming, you can manually add game times to your calendar. This gives you full control over the events.
5. Some teams provide downloadable calendars or RSS feeds. You might be able to import these into Outlook. Keep your Outlook application and operating system up-to-date, as updates might resolve the issue.

If none of these steps work, please let me know and we can explore other options. Please note that our initial response does not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your help.

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...

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.

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?

Another unsatisfied customer here. Perhaps it's an issue with the new Outlook vs. classic Outlook? When I tried to add teams, it just looks at me.

Also, in a fit of stupidity, I deleted some of the hand-typed calendars I set up for 2 teams I follow [hence the search for 'official' ones.] Unable find a way to retrieve them. Supposedly they are in a Deleted Items folder inside Outlook in Folder View, but I can't seem to find a way to switch to that View. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
