Quick answer
The best Notion calendar template depends on the job: Agenda for Google Calendar sync, My Calendar for simple personal scheduling, Events Calendar for team events, and the Yearly/Monthly/Daily Planner for planning the whole year. All five picks are free. A dedicated template gives you what the built-in calendar view does not: custom properties, multiple views, and a structure built around how you plan your week.
Notion's built-in calendar view handles simple scheduling. A dedicated calendar template adds custom properties, multiple views, and a structure built around how you plan your week.
These five cover personal planning, team events, the whole year, and tasks on a calendar. We also weighed how each one's database holds up under two-way sync, because we run Notion calendar databases through 2sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Todoist every day.

| 2sync | Two-way sync with Google Calendar | 4.97/5 (2sync avg.) |
We built this template for 2sync users, but anyone can duplicate it for free. The Agenda template is designed for people who want to connect Notion with Google Calendar, Google Contacts, or Todoist. It includes properties for event details, attendees, and status, plus multiple views (weekly agenda, monthly overview, and filtered lists). You don't need a 2sync account to use the template itself.

2. My Calendar
| Author | Best for | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Notion | Simple personal scheduling | 4.79/5 (1K+ ratings) |
My Calendar is the official Notion template for managing your events and tasks. This straightforward template includes three predefined views: a monthly calendar, pending events that need scheduling, and all activities. It's ideal if you want a clean design without extra features, just a reliable calendar you can start using right away.
3. Events Calendar
| Author | Best for | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Notion | Team and organizational event scheduling | 4.80/5 (500+ ratings) |
Events Calendar is built for teams that need to coordinate meetings, workshops, and company events in one place. The template includes a monthly calendar view with color-coded event categories, plus a list view for filtering by event type or organizer. If your team also uses Google Calendar or Outlook, you can sync these events automatically so nobody misses a meeting because they only check one tool.
4. Yearly/Monthly/Daily Planner

| Saif Saber | Planning the year month by month | 4.86/5 (29 ratings) |
The year opens as twelve month cards, and each month breaks down into goals, tasks, and daily plans. Nothing in it is tied to a specific year, so you duplicate it once and keep using it in 2027 and after.
It's a good fit if you want a bird's-eye view of the whole year next to the day-to-day detail. Sync your milestones and deadlines to Google Calendar or Outlook so you get reminders on your phone, too.
5. Calendar and To Do List
| Author | Best for | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Neat. | Tasks and events on one calendar | 4.74/5 (118 ratings) |
Events and to-dos share one database, so the month view shows errands, deadlines, and appointments together, each with a Done checkbox. A table view lists the same items when you would rather sort than scan a grid, and the template is set up to open in Notion Calendar.
If you sync this database with Google Calendar through 2sync, your tasks show up as calendar events alongside your meetings.
How to sync your Notion calendar with Google Calendar
Any of the templates above can connect to Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, or Todoist, so changes flow between Notion and the other app automatically. Setup typically takes under 10 minutes.
- Pick a template from this list and duplicate it to your Notion workspace.
- Check your database properties. Make sure you have at minimum a title field and a date field. Most templates above already include these.
- Connect with 2sync. Open app.2sync.com, select Google Calendar (or Outlook, or Todoist) as your provider, and choose the Notion database you just set up.
- Check the preview. 2sync matches your Notion properties (title, date, description, location) to the corresponding calendar fields and previews the first sync before anything is written. Each field can be set to two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to calendar.
- Activate the sync. New events created in either app will appear in the other within minutes.

The same process connects Notion with Todoist, Google Tasks, and Google Contacts.

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a calendar in Notion?
Type /calendar on any page and pick the calendar view to create a new database shown as a month grid, or open an existing database, add a view, and choose Calendar. Each entry lands on the day in its date property, so the database needs at least one. The templates above save you the setup when you want the views and properties ready-made.
Is Notion Calendar free?
Yes. Notion Calendar, Notion's standalone calendar app, is free and connects your Google, Outlook, and iCloud calendars. It shows Notion databases with dates next to your events, but it doesn't copy them into Google Calendar or Outlook, so anyone who only checks those apps sees nothing. 2sync vs Notion Calendar covers when a two-way sync is the better fit.
Where can I find more free monthly planner templates?
Notion's template marketplace has a Free Monthly Planner category that lists only free templates. If you already use one of the picks above, adding a monthly calendar view to its database is often quicker than starting a second template.
How do I print a Notion calendar?
Export it to PDF first. Notion can't print a full-page database directly, and the desktop app has no print option, so open the ••• menu, choose Export, pick PDF, and print the file. A calendar sitting inside a regular page can also be printed from your browser's Print command.
What's the best way to set up a content calendar in Notion?
Keep every post, video, or newsletter in one database with a publish date, a status, and a channel property. Show it as a calendar by publish date and as a board by status, so you see both what ships when and what's stuck. The Notion content calendar templates start you with that structure.
