Frequently Asked Questions

Will the calendar update automatically when teams advance?

Yes! As long as you “Subscribed” to the calendar via FotMob, Sky Sports, or Futpools (rather than just importing a static file), the schedule will automatically update in the background when the group stages end and the knockout rounds begin.

Is it safe to sync these calendars?

Yes, syncing an .ics calendar from a reputable sports platform is completely safe. It only has permission to add events, not read your personal data.

Do the match times adapt to my time zone?

Absolutely. The digital calendar files are programmed in UTC. Your phone’s calendar app will automatically translate this into your local time, so you don’t have to worry about the time differences across the USA, Canada, and Mexico!
