    Sky Sports should work if you remembered to replace the beggining address with http://

    So

    http://www1.skysports.com/calendars/football/fixtures/teams/barnsley


    Then add as instructions:

    Using Outlook 2010 for Windows

    From the selection of 'Mail', 'Calendar', 'Contacts' and 'Tasks' - Select 'Calendar'

    In the ribbon, pull down the 'Open Calendar' menu

    Select 'From Internet'

    Enter the URL (http://www1.skysports.com/calendars/football/fixtures/teams/barnsley) In the box entitled 'New Internet Calendar Subscription'

    Press OK

    Optionally - Click 'Advanced' to name your calendar and configure some options.

    Click 'Yes' to add the calendar to outlook and subscribe to updates.

    The contents of the calendar will now be downloaded into Outlook, and will automatically update periodically as fixture information changes.

    Doesnt work for me - I get the message the file "barnsley" is not a valid Internet Calendar file - if I try adding .ics on the end it cant find it - so the path above is valid but I cant import it into outlook and I am running 2010

    Is it possible to import them into Google Calendar? If so, what happens if a fixture changes day/time, does it auto update? Sorry, complete noob.

    Yes, details here http://www1.skysports.com/calendars

    Just remember to replace 'webcal' with 'http' or use the link earlier in this thread.


    And yes, it does auto update the fixtures.
