Managing unsolicited event invitations with user blocking in Google Calendar

Update (September 17 2026): We have updated the rollout pace for this feature. We previously anticipated rollout would complete by September 18. We now expect it to complete by September 30.

Update (August 28, 2026): We have updated the rollout pace for this feature. We initially anticipated rollout would complete by September 2. We now expect it to complete by September 18.

You can now protect your calendar from repeated calendar spam and unwanted invitations. When you block a user in Google Calendar, the current event is automatically removed and you no longer receive new calendar invitations from that person.

In addition, when you block an individual in Calendar, they’re added to your account-wide blocklist, and interactions across all supported Google products are blocked. Similarly, if the individual was blocked in another supported Google product, their Calendar invitations will now also be blocked.

This feature allows blocking invitations from users with a Google account. To block invitations from a non-Google Calendar user, use the Gmail blocking functionality. This will block all emails from them, including emails that create Calendar events.
