Here’s the FIFA Club World Cup soccer schedule for your iPhone Calendar, iPad Calendar, and Mac Calendar. It will be updated as the tournament proceeds. The events show up in your regular Calendar apps so you don’t have to go to a website for the schedule and then waste time switching back and forth with your regular calendar. Have it all in one place. Fast and easy.
Google People: If you’re using Google Calendar, and not Apple’s Calendar (for macOS or iOS or iPadOS), then copy this link, go to calendar.google.com in a browser, add a calendar “from URL” and paste in the link.
Did I mention that the game times adjust automatically, depending on your time zone? Of course they do. Did I mention that the TV channels are included? Of course the TV channels are included. (They’re in each game’s title, so you don’t even have to tap to see the details). I also include the location of the game, if you need it, and a link to my email in case you find a mistake (or want to say hello).

On the Mac, it looks like this in Month View (click to see the larger version):
In Week View, it looks like this (click to see the larger version):
On an iPhone, it looks like this:
The little soccer balls in front of each event help you quickly spot the games, even in a busy calendar. You can see I also have calendars for the NBA Playoffs and the NHL Playoffs.
In case you wondered, I also maintain the March Madness Calendar for iPhone and Mac— all games, updated as the games are played– and the College Football Bowl Games Calendar for iPhone and Mac. If you’re looking for the NFL Prime-Time games calendar, I have an article (and a calendar) for that too.
How to subscribe on your Mac
On your Mac, if you click the link for the FIFA Club World Cup schedule you will get a box like this:
Clicking “Allow” leads to this box:
Clicking the “Subscribe” button leads to this dialog box:
You can pick the color for the events, you can choose to remove alerts and attachments, and you can set the auto-refresh frequency. I would set it to “Every day” as shown. And that’s all there is to it.
TIP: you can change these options at any time by Control-clicking on the name of the calendar (FIFA Club World Cup) in the list of calendars at the left of your Mac’s Calendar app’s window. Choose “Get Info” from the menu that appears.
TIP #2: you can unsubscribe at any time (also by Control-clicking). Choose “Unsubscribe” if you want.
BONUS TIP: if you subscribe to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup soccer schedule for iPhone and Mac on your Mac, and you choose “iCloud” in the Location option, you will find the calendar shows up on your iPhone automatically. Nothing more to do! It does not work the other way around– that is, if you start on the Mac, it carries over to your iPhone, but if you start on your iPhone, it does NOT carry over to the Mac. This is Apple’s bug.
How to subscribe on your iPhone
On your iPhone, if you tap the link for the FIFA Club World Cup schedule, you’ll see a little box asking you whether you want to subscribe to the calendar “FIFA Club World Cup.” Of course you do.
If you change your mind, you can go to Settings, Calendars, Accounts, and then scroll way down to “Subscribed Calendars.” Tap on that, then on the FIFA Club World Cup soccer schedule calendar, and then Delete Account. Can’t see why you’d do that but you can if you want. These instructions are for iOS 18.
NOTE: you are ADDING A CALENDAR to your list of calendars, not adding events to your existing calendars. The added calendar will be called “FIFA Club World Cup.” You can uncheck the box next to the FIFA Club World Cup calendar in your list of calendars (on your Mac) or uncheck the check mark next to the FIFA Club World Cup calendar (on your iOS device) to hide those events.
Remember: you can add these calendars to your Google Calendar too. Copy this link, then go to calendar.google.com, add a calendar “From URL” and paste the link in.
*Technically I did not make the calendar purely by hand. That would be crazy. Instead, I scavenged the web for the information I needed, then put that info into a Numbers table, one table per series. I set up the tables with columns for home team, away team, game time, game date, TV channel, arena, score, and game number, one row per game. I wrote an AppleScript to create Calendar events based on the text in those Numbers tables, making good use of Shane Stanley’s CalendarLib script library (because using AppleScript with Calendar’s built-in AppleScript dictionary is slow, and also because I needed practice with CalendarLib).

And again, Thanks for your effort to make a new soccer calendar
You’re welcome. I’m hoping it was easy for you to add.
The Club World Cup matches were added to my “Home” calendar, not as a new subscription on the left. I can’t turn them off and on, and I can’t unsubscribe. How can I undo this? Can I start over, assuming I made a mistake?
Yes– the easy way will be for you to search for the soccer ball emoji, delete all of those events, and then add the calendar again, using the option for Subscribing via URL.
Hi, thanks for all thag you do! i love it.
One question, specifically with the CWC calendar, I can’t suscribe to it, it downloads as separate events that don’t update, is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
It depends on where you are trying to place the calendar. The instructions are different for Mac vs iPhone and Google Calendar is different too. Here is what someone else with a similar problem wrote me:
If you’re trying to add it to Outlook I’m not sure what the right thing to do is. If there is a “Subscribe via URL” option that’s the one to try.
