Can I import my season from an Excel or CSV file?

Upload a CSV or Excel schedule file and review events before adding them.

Yes. Use the schedule importer when your games, practices, or team events are already in a spreadsheet and you do not want to add each event manually.

This guide is for managers and assistant managers who are preparing a season schedule for BenchApp.

Step 1: Open the schedule importer

  1. Go to Schedule.

  2. Open the Add menu and choose Import Schedule.

Step 2: Download and complete the template

  1. Download the Microsoft Excel or CSV template from the import page.

  2. Fill in your events using the template columns.

Step 3: Upload your file

  1. Upload your file.

  2. Review the imported events, fix anything that needs attention, and save them to your schedule.

Step 4: Review duplicates and opponents

BenchApp will flag possible duplicate events for review before they are added. For non-league teams, opponent teams can be created automatically if they do not already exist.

  • Use the template from BenchApp instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.

  • Check date formatting before uploading if your spreadsheet app changes dates automatically.

  • If your league gives you an iCal, ICS, or WebCal URL, use Sync Schedule instead of uploading a spreadsheet.
