Serie A (Italy) on Google Calendar: add from URL + fix duplicates

The safest way to keep every Serie A fixture up to date is to subscribe to a single ICS feed. matchesio gives you a stable link: paste it once into Google Calendar and let it refresh automatically when kickoff times move for TV or weather. Avoid manual imports — those create static events that never update.

Subscribing versus importing matters. Subscription means Google Calendar will poll the ICS URL; when we adjust dates or add the next matchday, your calendar reflects it without extra work. Imports (.ics file uploads) freeze a snapshot and often lead to duplicates the next time you import. Use the “Add via URL” option on Google Calendar web to stay synced.

Every event in this feed includes date, time and venue. Google Calendar converts UTC to your profile timezone, so you don’t need to calculate offsets when traveling. If you notice a mismatch, check your Google account timezone and refresh the feed rather than editing events manually.

Follow just your club? Go to the Serie A competition page on matchesio, filter by team, and download a filtered ICS. That keeps your agenda lean and stops notifications for matches you don’t watch. The same feed works on Apple Calendar or Outlook because ICS is a standard.

Editorial teams can reuse this feed in planning tools: the URL stays stable across seasons, and we refresh it when Lega Serie A publishes new dates. If you ever see duplicates, remove old feeds you imported previously, then keep only this subscription URL.

For mobile reliability, add the feed from desktop first, confirm it appears under “Other calendars”, and make sure the same Google account is active on your phone. Google may cache for a few hours; removing and re-adding the feed forces a refresh if you need it sooner.
