How do I make my calendar subscription show further into the future?

Before adjusting the time period, please see Why does my calendar only show 6 months (or similar) into the future? for important information.

Step 1

Go to the My calendars page. Click Edit on the calendar which you want to extend.

Step 2

Open the Time period tab and adjust the time periods to your liking.

The Time period tab is not shown on phones due to their small screen size. You'll need to adjust this setting with a tablet or a computer. The extended calendar, however, will work fine with phones as well.

Finally, click Save.

Step 3

If you need more than two years (for some calendars, the limit is shorter), a calendar subscription will not work. It is a wrong tool for this problem.

Instead, you may download a calendar (.ics) file which contains events up to 5 years into the future. This file can then be imported into your calendar application.

When downloading a calendar this way, you should understand that

  • The maximum time period is defined based on how long your account is valid (for free calendars, the limit is 5 years).
  • When importing a calendar, make sure you import it as a new calendar instead of adding the events into your personal calendar.
  • The calendar will not update automatically. New events will never appear in this calendar.
  • Generating large files takes time. The most complex Sun calendar for the longest period of time may take up to 30 seconds. Please be patient.
  • Your calendar application may not accept files this large, or it may be slow to import them.
