Google doesn’t appear to have a calendar quite the same as the one I found for the Nightly, Beta, Release, and Extended Support Release (ESR) versions of Firefox, but I did find a blog from which you can get some useful information, especially if you want to test future, upcoming releases of Google Chrome (or other Google products) and you want to make sure the features you are interested in actually WORK.
(By the way, that’s one reason I have such a high degree of “success” with these various tools, browsers, and editors; over the years I have repeatedly used test software, found and reported a few bugs I wanted to see fixed, and I make sure things continue to work the way I’d like to see, and if I want a different result, I ask for a feature or report a defect, document it as well as I can and explain what results and features I need. It works well for me; I’ve had 3-4 things fixed over the past 25-30 years and I keep on top of them with a few systems; if something regresses, I report that too; being faithful to test, document, explain and report really does HELP!)

https://www.google.com/chrome/dev/?platform=linux&extra=devchannel (development)As I have noted previously, Google no longer provides a release calendar; they have not been providing a software release calendar since 2020. They do still have stable release, beta channel releases, and development (unstable) releases.
If you check the specific links above, there are versions available; if you look at their respective blogs, there are announcements when updates become available, and if you install them, they do typically get updated when a newer version is available. It’s a different approach than what Mozilla provides with Firefox. If you use a specific version, it’s simple; if you use all of them, each will update whenever the specific update is available. I just verified this again today.
