How to Get SportsEngine Schedules on a Skylight Calendar

Skylight subscribes to calendar links directly (and mirrors Google/Apple/Outlook), so the job is getting a link out of SportsEngine. SportsEngine moved its calendar controls into the MySE account a while back — here's the current path, then the short path to the wall.

⏱ Takes about 7 minutes

The steps

  1. 1

    Sign in to your SportsEngine (MySE) account → Schedule tab → Sync Schedule. MySE is the account that aggregates every team you're registered for. Sync Schedule sits top-right of the Schedule tab. (Older guides describe a Subscribe/Export option on individual team websites — that can still work as a fallback, but this is the documented primary path.)

  2. 2

    Choose Other Calendar, then Copy. The direct Google button works too, but Other Calendar → Copy hands you the reusable raw link — the one you can point at any calendar the Skylight mirrors, or merge first.

  3. 3

    Paste it into Schedule Caddie (free) and copy your one URL. Add Schedule → paste the link. Add the other kids' feeds and the school PDF while you're there — the point is one family calendar, not another silo. Then copy the merged All Events URL from Subscribe & Share: one URL for the wall, plus change-alert emails when a coach moves something.

  4. 4

    Paste the URL into the Skylight app (or subscribe via Google/Apple). Skylight subscribes to calendar feed URLs directly (per its support docs): in the Skylight app, My Skylight menu → Synced Calendars → Sync new calendar → Calendar URL → paste → Done. Prefer the feed mirrored in your phone calendar too? Subscribe Google (web: + next to “Other calendars” → From URL), Apple (Settings → Apps → Calendar → Add Subscribed Calendar), or Outlook (Add calendar → Subscribe from web) — the Skylight displays connected calendars as well.

  5. 5

    Check the calendar is toggled on for the Skylight. In the Skylight app (or on the device), confirm the calendar you just added — URL-synced or account-synced — is enabled for display. From then on the pipeline maintains itself: team app → your calendar → the kitchen wall.

If something's not working

A game moved but the Skylight still shows the old time

Subscribed feeds refresh on the display's own schedule — Skylight doesn't publish an interval for URL-synced calendars, and routing through Google/Apple adds a 12–24 hour hop of its own. It will catch up — but if you want to KNOW today, route the feed through Schedule Caddie first: free change-alert emails fire when the source changes, not when the wall repaints.

Events show up doubled on the display

The same team is probably feeding the wall twice — once as a direct subscription and once inside a merged feed. Pick one route per team.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Skylight Plus for this?

No — calendar syncing is part of the base Skylight experience. Plus ($79/year, per Skylight's pricing page as of August 2026) covers extras like Magic Import and chore rewards. Everything on this page works on the free tiers of both products.

Why route through Schedule Caddie instead of connecting the feed straight to Google?

Direct works — our per-app guides show it. The merged route earns its keep with several kids on several apps (one feed instead of five), schedules that only exist as PDFs, and free emails naming exactly what changed — the wall itself updates silently.

Can I put the raw SportsEngine URL straight into the Skylight (or Google) and skip the merge?

You can — Skylight takes a feed URL directly, and it works for a single team. What you give up: the other kids' feeds and the school calendar merged alongside, dedupe, and the change-alert emails that tell you a game moved (displays absorb feed changes silently). The merge upstream is what makes the wall trustworthy.

Is Schedule Caddie affiliated with Skylight?

No — we're an independent, free family-schedule tool. Skylight makes a genuinely nice display; we keep the schedules feeding it accurate. The two work well together.
