You can view your Google Calendar alongside your Outlook calendar by subscribing to your own Google Calendar in Outlook. Alternatively, you can import events from Google Calendar into Outlook, but the two calendars will not sync following updates.

These instructions apply to Outlook 2019, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook for Office 365.
