NCAA Women’s March Madness Calendar for iPhone, Mac, and iPad

UPDATE Sunday, March 17th, 2024: I have the First Four games up, along with the entire First Round (32 games).

Here is the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament calendar, in ics (iCal) form. It’s as up-to-the-minute as I can make it and I’ll keep updating it as games are played. Game times are correct for your time zone– none of that “All Times Eastern” stuff. The scores will be added as the tournament progresses.

Bonus: if you subscribe to the calendar this year, next year you won’t have to do a thing. The games will magically appear in your calendar next March.

In case you need it: here’s the calendar for the men’s basketball tournament.

Getting the calendar is easy: all you have to do is click this link (from a Mac, iPhone, or iPad). When you do that, you’ll probably be asked whether it’s OK for Calendar to open the link. The answer is YES. When adding the calendar to your Mac you’ll get a box like this:

Then you’ll get a box like this:

If you subscribe on the Mac and you add the calendar to your iCloud account it will show up on your iPhone automatically.

If you are subscribing using your iPhone you’ll see screens like these two. Notice I saved the calendar to my iCloud account here too.

Here’s the calendar on the iPhone. The games all have a little basketball icon so you can spot them quickly. To get the calendar, tap the link and when asked about subscribing to the calendar “March Madness,” click “Subscribe.”

Here’s a version that works with Google Calendar

Just right-click this link and copy it, go to Google Calendar (that is, use a web browser to go to calendar.google.com), and click the “+” to add a calendar. Choose the option to “Add from URL.” Paste in what you copied and you’re done. Once added via a web browser you should see the calendar (in a few minutes) as an option in your Google Calendar. In the Google Calendar iPhone app, go to Settings (the three horizontal lines at top left), then “Show more” (below “Events” and “Reminders”). Check the box for March Madness and you’re all set.)

(The calendar can easily be turned off by unchecking it in the Calendar app on the iPhone, Mac, and iPad. Same thing in Google Calendar.)

If you’re trying to get the calendar into your Google Calendar iPhone app (or Android app) you have to add the calendar to your Google account via calendar.google.com first (in a browser). THEN you can go to your phone’s app, and turn on the NCAA Women’s March Madness calendar. It will look like this:

The official March Madness app (for iPhone and iPad) has a lot of great features (best one: you can watch the games on your iPhone) but it doesn’t integrate with the Calendar app on your iPhone, Mac, or iPad. That’s where my calendar comes in: it shows up in the Calendar app. I couldn’t find such a calendar online so I made it myself. If you like it, tell a friend. to the best of my knowledge, this is the only calendar of its kind available on the web. Shocking but true.

I make a similar calendar for the College Football Bowl Games every year. Subscribe to that one and get the schedules, year after year. I do listen to feedback so please let me know (via the comments) if you have a suggestion or correction. I’d really appreciate it.
