Fixtured vs. Fantastical: The Best Calendar App for Sports Fans
By Fixtured
Tired of juggling calendars to keep up with your teams? Fixtured offers a smarter, personalized alternative to Fantastical—built specifically for fans who want one place to follow every game.
If you’re a sports fan trying to keep up with your favorite teams and competitions, you’ve probably run into the same problem: regular calendar apps just aren’t made for sports.
Take Fantastical. It’s a great calendar for work and everyday life—perfect for meetings, reminders, or keeping things synced across your devices. But when it comes to following sports, it doesn’t really cut it. You can try adding calendars for different leagues, but they’re often missing details, don’t update in real time, and rarely show the stuff that matters—like live scores, standings, or what channel the game is on.
That’s where Fixtured comes in. It’s not a regular calendar with sports tacked on. It’s built for sports fans, from the ground up.
Fantastical: A Great Calendar, But Not for Sports
Fantastical is a beautifully designed calendar app that works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more. It’s packed with productivity features, calendar syncing, natural language input, and customizable views. But when it comes to sports, its offerings are limited.
You can subscribe to “interesting calendars” or import third-party sports feeds—but those feeds are often outdated, incomplete, or missing key info like scorers, standings, and broadcast channels. Even with a perfectly synced calendar, Fantastical only shows static events. It won’t update scores live, track standings, or show any personalized context based on the teams you love.
For casual fans, that might be fine. But for fans who care about when and how to watch games across sports and leagues, the cracks show quickly.
Fixtured: A Smarter Calendar for Sports
Fixtured flips the traditional calendar model on its head. Instead of being a general productivity tool with some sports bolted on, Fixtured is built from the ground up for fans. It gives you a beautiful, interactive view of the games that matter to you—across all the sports you follow.
