The FIDE Calendar is the official listing of FIDE-rated and FIDE-recognized chess events worldwide. Tournament organizers submit their events for FIDE recognition, and the calendar aggregates these listings with event name, dates, location, time control, and a contact link for registration.

The calendar is searchable and filterable by country, month, and event type (classical, rapid, blitz, online), making it the primary resource for players looking for FIDE-rated events to enter for rating points or title norms. It covers events from local national championships to major open tournaments and invitation events.

The FIDE Calendar is free to browse without registration. For competitive players who want to accumulate FIDE rating points or work toward a title, it is the authoritative starting point for finding eligible events.
