# events

The schedule of interstitial events.

```
var events: [AVPlayerInterstitialEvent] { get }
```

## Discussion

When the primary player’s content specifies the schedule of interstitial events intrinsically, this property value typically changes whenever primary player’s [`currentItem`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayer/currentItem) changes. For HLS content that specifies interstitials using of `DATERANGE` tags, the value of this property may also change whenever the set of `DATERANGE` tags in the current item’s media playlist changes.

When you specify the schedule of interstitial events using an [`AVPlayerInterstitialEventController`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayerInterstitialEventController), this property value changes only when you update the interstitial event controller’s schedule.
