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

    Unfortunately other than the first response, which didn't to anything to address the problem and with a growing number of people indicating the same issue... all I hear is crickets on Microsoft's end at this point in time.

    Same problem here too. Instead of offering trouble shooting steps to take, It seems this is wide spread enough that MIcrosoft should have a specific instruction or update to fix it or work around to resolve it and publish it!

    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!

    I have the same issue. I noticed that halfway through the summer, I stopped getting the schedule for the Reds and now I have nothing showing on my calendar for the Bengals. Not sure what happened but I have all the calendars selected in both my Windows and Apple systems and nothing is appearing for either team.

    It seems like this feature has experienced random issues in the past such as ignoring time zones and such but this is the first time that it just quit working entirely. I guess I will need to manually enter the schedules. The only calendar that works is the birthday calendar sync from Facebook. Now THAT is the calendar I wish would just die but neither FB or M offers a solution to do so.

    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.
