How to get TeamSnap into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook
TeamSnap can give you a calendar link (an iCal or “.ics” feed). Subscribe to it once and new games, moves and cancellations show up on their own.
Steps
- TeamSnap website (not the app): Schedule → Settings → 'Sync Calendar' / Export → copy the link. 'All games and events' gives one link for every team.
Good to know: Use the TeamSnap website, not the app: the sync link is only on the web.
Then add the link to your calendar
- Google Calendar (on a computer): Other calendars → + → From URL → paste the link.
- iPhone: Settings → Apps → Calendar → Calendar Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar.
- Outlook: Add calendar → Subscribe from web → paste the link.
One catch: Google Calendar only re-reads subscribed links every several hours, sometimes up to a day, so a last-minute time change can show up late.
Got more than one team or app?
Most families end up with TeamSnap plus a few others: another kid's team, a second sport, the school calendar. FamilyCal combines them into one calendar, free:
- Paste each link once; FamilyCal recognises TeamSnap and the others.
- One calendar per kid, color-coded, plus one for school days off.
- Changes show up in minutes: FamilyCal writes straight into Google Calendar or Outlook instead of waiting for them to re-read a link.
- Clean-up across every app: drop “[TBD]” from titles, hide a practice type your kid never goes to.
- Ask Claude, ChatGPT or Alexa “what's on tomorrow?”, and paste a coach's email or flyer to add it.
Questions
Where is the TeamSnap calendar link?
TeamSnap website (not the app): Schedule → Settings → 'Sync Calendar' / Export → copy the link. 'All games and events' gives one link for every team.
Why don't TeamSnap changes show up right away in Google Calendar?
Google Calendar re-reads subscribed calendar links on its own schedule, every several hours and sometimes up to a day, and there's no button to make it refresh. FamilyCal can connect to Google Calendar or Outlook and write events straight in after every sync, so changes show up in minutes.
Can I combine TeamSnap with other teams and the school calendar?
Copy the calendar link from each app (see the guides), paste them into FamilyCal, and subscribe to or connect the combined calendar. Each kid gets their own color-coded calendar, plus one for school days off.
