On the top there is al view for week and a view for month but not for year.
Year view was removed in version 43, as part of the new calendar design. What information would fit in year view? Not event labels.
You can use PgDn / PgUp to jump from month to month in month view. A quick way to look a few months ahead.
To directly answer the question in the post title: No, it can not.
If you are interested in the why, you can read through Year/multi-month view (#1014) · Issues · GNOME / gnome-calendar · GitLab 
Well i think it would be a nice way to have a general overview of the year + a fast way to navigate quickly to a specific month instead of pressing next / previous 100 times,…
I agree the you can not put a lot of info in the year view, but i was locking for it and just cant find it.
I don’t want to be negative I love the good work that every one here puts in, I just want to help giving new users (like me) a good time on linux coming from a different OS.
Keep up the good work!
For quick navigation you might be interested in this specifically: Level-based mini calendar (#1598) · Issues · GNOME / gnome-calendar · GitLab
I think it think would solve the main usecase for most people.
