Add a calendar in Outlook.com or Outlook on the web

You can connect a calendar from one Outlook.com or Google account to your work or school account. This lets you view and manage the calendar in that personal account when you're only signed in to your work or school account. It also lets you include your personal calendar events in your work or school availability for people in your organization who are scheduling events with you using the Scheduling Assistant in Outlook. For more information about managing your personal calendar in your work or school account, see Show personal events on your work or school calendar.

In Outlook on the web, you can import events from an .ics file to your existing calendar or subscribe to a calendar online and receive automatic updates (known as an ICS subscription or an iCal subscription). You can import calendars from websites or calendar programs that support the .ics file format, such as Apple iCal, Google Calendar, and Mozilla Lightning.

You can search the internet for lists of iCals. Websites for theaters, sports teams, and schools often have an "Add to calendar" link that you can use to download an iCal. Bing also has suggestions for calendars.
