When is MYM Happening?

And is there an event calendar somewhere? Any time I google events, I find the dates of the previous ones.

Events are usually only announced a week or so before, but usually there are clues in the monthly Crown Store showcase, if you see a hole in the schedule or a date on a related item.

Whitestrake's Mayhem is usually near the end of January and June and starts on a Thursday and continues for a week and a half into the next month. Last year's started the 28th of January, so best guess would be starting on the 27th this year and going until the 8th.

But no, there is no calendar of events. They don't like to announce things too early in case something goes wrong on the back end and they need to delay an event, but that also means that we get very little warning when one is coming.

Thanks. That's the best answer I'll get. Sucks they don't announce them. I took the first 2 work weeks of January off to be able to play full time, when I should have taken the first 2 weeks of February by the looks of it.
Another event I'll miss. Oh, well.

Whitestrake's Mayhem was the second event of the year on PTS, so it may not be until late February, actually.

At one point they said they were going to try to announce events earlier so guilds and other groups could plan their activities around them. That went as far as one announcement and briefly putting a schedule in the background of an unrelated live stream then they stopped doing it again.

Other than that we can estimate some things based on past years and as @tomofhyrule said the crown store showcase often gives clues to what's coming up, but that's it.

Deadric Wars (Morrowind, Clockwork city, Summerset)

Ah, I forgot about that. I guess I had those two swapped in my mind.

Based on the Showcase, most of the Daedric War stuff with dates is coming around the end of the month (Jan 24-Feb 3) so I guess it's the Daedric War happening in that area. That'll push Mayhem back to the end of February - there's usually a hole in the schedule near the end of the month, so we could see it then.

I don't use PTS, so no idea if they'll swap anything around this year. But I wrote down the event dates of previous years, to have kind-of-a-calendar...

Mayhem
2019: 10.01. - 21.01.
2020: 23.01. - 04.02.
2021: 28.01. - 09.02.

Regional Event
2019: Morrowind 07.02. - 18.02.
2020: Murkmire 20.02. - 03.03.
2021: Morrowind/CWC 25.02. - 09.03.

Jester's
2019: 21.03. - 02.04.
2020: 26.03. - 02.04.
2021: 25.03. - 01.04.

Anniversary
2019: 04.04. - 09.05.
2020: 02.04. - 14.04.
2021: 01.04. - 13.04.

and so on...

With all the "Daedric Wars" and Morrowind/Evergloam stuff in the January Crown Store showcase it may well be that they exchanged the Mayhem and the Morrowind/CWC/whatever-chapter-and/or-DLC thing. I'd expect the event to start on the 27th (maybe the 20th, if they want to go earlier). That would put the Mayhem to February 24th (maybe 17th).
But predicting ESO events is like doing a weather forecast - you have probable models, but one slight fluctuation in some current, and you're off by a lot.

Gina announced in the year ahead reveal live stream in January 2021 that they will now let us know what events are coming up each quarter at the start of said quarter so we can plan our guild events etc.
