If you're keen on adding a team calendar of your own, or any calendar, like release dates for the Xbox, international holidays, astronomy events - the list of options is truly endless - here's how.

How to subscribe to a calendar on your iPhone
1. Open Safari and search for the calendar you want to add. The above link to iCalShare.com is a good resource, or you can go directly to the source if you know where to find the calendar you're looking for. Here, we'll use the official North Carolina Tar Heels calendar.
2. The wording will differ depending on where you find the calendar, but you should see an option worded along the lines of "Add to Calendar," or "Subscribe to Calendar." Tap it.

In my case, I knew exactly where to go to find the calendar I wanted to subscribe to. It's the same one I've used season after season.
3. You will be given options to choose the platform where you want the calendar subscription. Select the one that applies to your iPhone.

I selected "Apple," when given the option. Depending where you found your calendar, the wording may differ.
4. The Calendar app will automatically open and the events will be listed - title, dates and times, if included. Tap "Add All" in the top-right corner to confirm subscription to the calendar.

All the events as they will appear in your calendar once added are listed. Past events will be added as well.
5. Create a name for the calendar if you'd like, then tap "Done" in the top right corner.
6. Close Safari and open the Calendar app. Tap "Calendars" at the bottom of the screen.
7. You can ensure that you'll see your newly subscribed to calendar here. A blue checkmark will be visible to the left of the calendar. If no checkmark is there, tap the empty circle.

I added my calendar under iCloud, so that it'd be on all my iCloud-synced devices.
