Mostly going off the fan wiki and interviews - still debating whether (and if so, when) to fit in things like the Deadpool movie.
If it's running more or less parallel (this primarily applies to Netflix series) I tend to fit it in before the corresponding Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes, not least because I generally prefer the Netflix output to AoS.
Last updated June 2021.
As for Loki, it does split off into an alternative timeline post Avengers, but I'm adding it just after Endgame (for now) to account for possible timey-wimey shenanigans.
This is a list with episodes of various Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series as well as films in internal chronological order, according to this list by MythBank: https://mythbank.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-timeline/
DC aficionado too? Why, have a gander at my Trakt port of a list for all DC Cinematic Universe films and TV-series in chronological order: https://trakt.tv/users/nidunc/lists/dc-cinematic-multiverse-viewing-order-according-to-thecomicboard-com-members?sort=rank,asc
Unlike ‘my’ two Arrowverse lists on here, I’ve chosen not to include whole seasons, but only the episodes themselves, to maintain consistency throughout this list.
This is also to maximise compatibility with any third-party tools that interpret Trakt.tv lists.
I might choose to adapt my Arrowverse lists to this format as well in the future.
Up-to-date as of the 24th of July 2022 (with exceptions, see below). This description still has to be updated, as does the changelog. I don’t know when I’ll get around to that.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, including movies, tie-in TV shows, and One-Offs, in fictional chronological order. The post-credit scenes in "Captain America", "Captain Marvel", and "Black Widow" have spoilers and should be watched in Release Order (after "Thor" & before "The Avengers", after "Ant-Man and the Wasp" & before "Avengers: Endgame", and after "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" & before "Hawkeye", respectively) instead of chronologically. I gave some wide margins of error on those boundaries, so that one would be able to fit in watching the post-credit scenes.

#TheInfinitySaga
Chronological Marvel Cinematic Universe CANON.
As a marvel fan I consider Man In Black to be a part of the MCU 616 timeline. However a lot of other fans do not consider them canon. Because MIB are not considered canon I have an other MCU 616 timeline chronological that is not canon.
Most of the order is taken from digitalspy and the user donxy
However I will be updating the order with new releases and to fit my personal view when I am at that point of the timeline.
When Marvel Disney updates their timeline version within the Disney+ app I will try and match it in this chronological list. However since this is more complete (like switching on episode basis) there might be some differences from my list and Disney+ timeline version.
NOTE: In my opinion are "legacy marvel shows/movies" an other universe and I want to create a list for that as well. Currently living as:
- MIB 616 (Man In Black Universe)[NOT CANON to some]
- MCX 838 (X-Man Universe)
- SSU 688 (Sony's Spider-Man Universe)
- ASM 120703 (The Amazing Spider-Man Universe)
- DDU 400083 (The Dare Devil Universe)
UPDATED 2024-01-19
Chronological order
(If you are new to MCU, then you should start with; Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk,
Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and then Agent Carter.)
Includes:
Stark Expo 1974 - commercial for Stark Expo 1974 in Flushing Meadows in New York.
There are four different Stark Expo 2010 videos:
They take place during Iron Man 2 and you can easily find them by googling for them.
Peggy Carter’s 1953 Smithsonian Interview - Where Carter is being interviewed about Steve Rogers (can be found at youtube)
S.H.I.E.L.D spin-off mini-series Slingshot can be found at ABC's youtube channel.
Peter's To-Do List (Short Film - Spider-Man: Far From Home - Blu-Ray) - short extra clip when Peter is picking up his passport.
