How Pin the Date works
Pick a club or competition and its fixtures land in the calendar you already use, free and always up to date. Here is what happens, step by step.
Three steps
- 1
Pick your club or competition
Browse the football hub or use search. Every club, league, cup and national team in the world has its own page.
- 2
Confirm your email
We send one confirmation link. It keeps bots out and makes sure your personal calendar link reaches the right inbox.

Add it to your calendar
Open your calendar link and your calendar app picks up the fixtures by itself. Nothing to install, nothing to check. From then on it updates on its own.
A live calendar, not a download
Most 'add to calendar' buttons hand you a static file, a snapshot that is outdated the moment the schedule changes. Pin the Date gives your calendar app a link it keeps reading all season. Something changes in the fixture list? It flows into your calendar on its own.
A moved kick-off moves in your calendar. Shortly after full time the score appears in the match title. Postponed or cancelled matches are marked. And every time is shown in your own timezone.
Works with the calendar you already use
Apple Calendar
Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. One tip on iPhone. When you add the calendar, choose iCloud instead of On my iPhone, so it shows up on all your devices.
Google Calendar
Works on Android and on the web. Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, usually within a day.
Outlook
Added to your Outlook account as a calendar subscription, on desktop, web and mobile.
How often your calendar refreshes is decided by your calendar app, not by us. Most apps update somewhere between a few hours and a day.
Good to know
Pin the Date is free. By fans, for fans.
Subscribed calendars don't ring alarms by themselves in most apps. Want an alert before kick-off? Add one to the match in your calendar, exactly like any other event.
Done with it? Delete the calendar in your app and it's gone. You can manage or erase your data yourself at any time.
We only store what's needed to serve your calendar, your email address and your sign-up details. Withdrawing or erasing everything stays in your hands.
