You can subscribe to calendars that use the CalDAV or iCalendar (.ics) formats. Many

2
Choose Other, then choose either Add CalDAV Account or Add Subscribed Calendar.

sports events, for example—that you may want to subscribe to. The calendars are
automatically added to iCal on your desktop when you download them. You can then
sync them to iPod touch as described in “Subscribing to and Sharing Calendars” on
page 75. Go to /www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars.
