Automatically Adding Fixtures to your Calendar

You have 3 options for adding the fixtures to your calendar automagically:

  • Download and install the Calendar for Outlook file (.hol) – this is for older versions of Outlook.
  • Download and install the iCal calendar file (.ics) – works with any calendar that works with this format (most).
  • Subscribe to the calendar – copy and paste the link into your calendar to subscribe. The advantage is that if the fixtures change, you don’t have to reinstall them (as you would have to do with options 1 and 2).

See the instructions below for downloading or subscribing to your relevant calendar.
