Google only allows new URL subscriptions from a computer browser. Add the calendar once on the web; it will then appear in Google Calendar on Android, iPhone, and iPad when you use the same Google account.

Good to know

  • Google Calendar does not support adding a URL subscription inside its Android, iPhone, or iPad app. Use a computer browser for the initial setup.
  • Google controls how frequently subscribed calendars refresh, so a source change may not appear immediately.
