Updated April 20th, 2020.

I’ve created the 2019-2020 College Football Bowl Game calendar for you and your iPhone and iPad and Mac. Click here to get it. It works with Google calendar also (see below). Includes teams, times, games, rankings, locations, and point spreads (via Caesars Sportsbook, correct as of when I last updated the calendar). And the TV network the game will be on. Updated with the scores as the games are played. This is the fifth year I’ve done it, with many old-time subscribers magically seeing the games appear year after year. (That’s why you “subscribe.”)

Note: you can get tickets to the bowl games at Stubhub. (Ticket sales made via the above link may result in a referral fee to the owner of this site.)

The listings for the games start with little football icons, as shown below, so you can quickly pick out the bowl games from amongst your other appointments.

Here’s how it looks on a Mac, macOS 10.14.6:

Pretty handy to have the games integrated with your regular Calendar app (in their own category of course). You don’t have to do anything to get the updates– they’ll come in automatically. See the info below about how to properly subscribe to the calendar.

Actually this is the same calendar as last year, with the 2019-2020 Bowl Games added to it. If you subscribed to the calendar last year, you should already see the current slate of games. Subscribe once and you’ll have next year’s schedule too. And the year after that. Etc.

How to add the college football bowl games to your Google calendar

Just right-click this link and copy it, go to Google Calendar (that is, use a web browser to go to gmail.com, sign in if necessary, then go to the Calendar section), and click the stack of three dots to the right of “Add calendar.” Choose the option to “Add from URL.” Paste in what you copied and you’re all set.

Adding a calendar “From URL” to Google Calendar

Google can be very, very slow to update iCal-type calendars (which is what the Bowl Games calendar is). It’s been this way for years (read all about it, here, and here). This means you may not see the calendar updating as I modify it to show the scores. The only practical solution for you is to unsubscribe from the calendar and then to re-subscribe to it again. Important: you need to add something new to the URL when you resubscribe or else you will get the older version of the calendar, which Google has cached. Just add “?noCache” to the end of the URL. Google Calendar will see this and pull in the new info, and you will be all set. Contact me if you need help, or read this excellent article by Andrew Martin.

More Info

On iPhones and iPads and Macs, if you’re asked where to import the calendar, choose “New Calendar.” When you’re asked whether you want to subscribe to the calendar, the answer is YES, you want to subscribe. That way you get updates when I change something. Also, if you subscribe you will get updates next year, and the next year, and so on. Subscribing is free, and you don’t have to give me your email address or anything like that. And of course you can unsubscribe if you want. It would be cool if you shared the calendar on your various social media platforms.

Here’s how it will look as you click through subscribing.

Adding the calendar. You get this after clicking a link on this page, and then letting the Mac or iPhone open the link with the Calendar app. Finally, you click “Subscribe” and you see this.

It would be smart to set up your calendar like this, if you can. For sure turn on the auto-refresh as information is added to the calendar as the information becomes available.

The calendar is now called “College Football Bowl Games” (I removed the year from the name, as this calendar is perpetual– the only college football bowl calendar you need, year after year). Subscribe once and you’re all set, for this year and the next and the next etc. I’m not planning on stopping.

The calendar has all the important information (dates, times, teams, TV network). Times are correct for your time zone, whichever way your calendar is set. For example, the New Year’s Day Rose Bowl game is shown starting at 2 PM Pacific Time, and 4 PM Central Time.

I’ll update the calendar with the scores of the games as they happen. You can subscribe to the calendar now and just let me update the source as the info becomes available. Your calendar app will always show the latest info. Click the link, remember to tell it to refresh (recommendation: either daily or hourly), and you’ll have the information at your fingertips. Or at least on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Note: I made this calendar because I couldn’t find one online. Yes, I could find a web page with the games, but no, I couldn’t find a calendar that I could import into my iPhone’s Calendar app. It’s way better to see the games listed right there with your other Calendar appointments than to be flipping back and forth between Calendar and a listing on a web page. I couldn’t find what I wanted elsewhere– so I made it myself.

BONUS: Interesting article about the affiliations between bowls and conferences, in case you’re wondering how the game match-ups are made.
