MovieSchedule

Put your release schedule in Google Calendar or your phone (iCal guide)

By Taha Bilal Özbey · Published August 6, 2026

Checking a website every day works — but the calendar you already live in (the one with your meetings and birthdays) can show new episodes too. Every MovieSchedule account comes with a free personal iCal feed: subscribe once, and every upcoming episode or premiere of the titles you follow appears in your own calendar app, updating itself as schedules change.

What you need first

  1. A free account — sign in (or register) from the site header.
  2. At least one followed title: open any show or movie and hit “Follow”, or follow straight from the weekly grid cards.
  3. Open My Schedule — the calendar subscription box lives there.

Google Calendar

  1. In My Schedule, find the “Subscribe in your calendar” box.
  2. Click the Google Calendar button — Google opens with an “Add calendar?” prompt for your personal feed.
  3. Confirm. A new calendar appears in your list; episodes show up as events at their air time, converted to your time zone by Google.

Note: Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule (typically several hours to a day). New follows will appear — just not instantly.

iPhone, Mac and Outlook

  1. Use the “Subscribe” button — it opens the feed as a webcal:// link, which Apple Calendar and most desktop calendar apps pick up directly with a “subscribe to this calendar?” dialog.
  2. Or copy the feed link and add it manually: in Apple Calendar “File → New Calendar Subscription”, in Outlook “Add calendar → Subscribe from web”.
  3. Pick a refresh interval if your app asks (daily is plenty), and you are done.

How the feed behaves

  • It is personal: the feed URL contains a private token — treat it like a password and do not share it publicly. It only ever exposes your followed titles' schedule, nothing else.
  • It is live: unfollow a show and its future episodes drop out of the feed on the next refresh; new follows flow in the same way.
  • Times are exact where the source is exact. When a source only publishes a date (no reliable hour), the entry appears as an all-day event instead of a made-up time.
  • It works alongside — not instead of — email notifications. The feed answers “what is coming”, notifications answer “it just aired”.
iCal is an open standard (RFC 5545), so the same feed works in essentially every calendar app. If yours needs a plain URL, the “copy link” button gives you the https:// form of the same feed.
