How to Merge Multiple iCal Feeds Into One Calendar

5 min read · Works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook

If you follow three sports leagues, track a school calendar, and share a work schedule, you're probably juggling five separate calendar subscriptions. Calendar apps don't have a built-in way to merge multiple iCal feeds into one. Calendar Combine does.

This guide walks you through how to combine iCal and ICS feeds from any source into a single subscription link that works in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and any other app that supports iCal subscriptions.


What is an iCal or ICS feed?

iCal (also called ICS or webcal) is the standard file format for calendar events. Most scheduling apps — TeamSnap, LeagueApps, Google Calendar, school portals, Meetup — let you export a live feed URL that ends in .ics. When you subscribe to that URL in your calendar app, new events appear automatically without any manual imports.

The catch: each source gives you a separate URL. If your kids play on two teams and attend a school, that's three calendar subscriptions to manage. Merge them into one and you subscribe once instead.

How to merge multiple iCal feeds (step by step)

Step 1 — Find your iCal feed URLs

Look for an export or subscribe option in each app. You want a URL that ends in .ics or starts with webcal://. Common sources:

Step 2 — Create a free Calendar Combine account

Go to calendarcombine.com and sign in with Google or your email address. No credit card required. The free plan supports up to 3 source feeds.

Step 3 — Create a combined calendar

Click “New Calendar” and give it a name — something like “Smith Family Soccer” or “Kids Schedules.” Then paste in your iCal feed URLs one at a time. Calendar Combine validates each feed and pulls in the source name automatically.

Step 4 — Copy your merged feed URL

Once your sources are added, Calendar Combine generates a single stable feed URL that merges them all. Copy the webcal:// link for Apple Calendar and Outlook, or the https:// link for Google Calendar.

Step 5 — Subscribe once, share with everyone

Subscribe to the merged feed in your calendar app, then share the same link with anyone else who needs it — your co-parent, your family, or your team. They subscribe directly in their own calendar app with no account required.

Common uses for merged calendar feeds


Why not merge calendars inside Google Calendar?

Google Calendar lets you add multiple calendars to your view, but the result only lives inside your own Google account. You can't export a merged subscription URL to share with someone using Apple Calendar or Outlook. Calendar Combine generates a real iCal/ICS feed URL that any calendar app can subscribe to.
