Schedule & calendar

Your whole season, on everyone's calendar.

Add games and practices, import the spreadsheet your league sent, or sync their calendar link. Players subscribe once in Apple or Google Calendar, and every change shows up on its own.

How it works

From a blank season to everyone's calendar.

Step 1

Add your games and practices

Add one event or a whole batch at once. Set the opponent, home or away, date, time, length, location and notes, and choose whether to notify the team.

  • Games, practices and tournaments in one place
  • Add the whole season in minutes
  • Set up weekly practices once with PRO

Step 2

Or import the schedule you already have

Got the schedule as a spreadsheet? Upload it and BenchApp adds every game for you, checking for duplicates first. New opponents are added automatically.

  • Bring your schedule from Excel
  • No retyping game by game
  • Check it over before it goes live

Step 3

Keep in sync with your league

Paste your league's calendar link and BenchApp keeps your schedule up to date, telling you whenever a game is added, moved or removed.

  • Use the calendar link your league sends
  • Changes from the league show up for you
  • Stays in sync automatically with PRO

Step 4

Everyone gets it on their calendar

Players add the team schedule to the calendar they already use, in one tap. When you move or cancel a game, their calendar updates on its own.

  • Let everyone know when a game is cancelled
  • Directions to the rink or field in one tap
  • Works with Google, Apple and Outlook calendars

Why do my game times look wrong?

Check your team's time zone in Team Settings under Team Details. Every time on the schedule uses it.
