How to subscribe to the PFFC fixtures calendar

We recommend that you subscribe to the calendar rather than downloading it, so that we can automatically keep you up to date with any late changes to the fixture list.

Downloading the calendar imports the fixtures into your calendar software on a one-off basis. If the fixtures change, you will need to download the calendar file again to update your data. If, on the other hand, you subscribe to the calendar feed, your calendar application will sync the fixture dates and kick-off times automatically without the need for a manual update so you will always have the latest information.
