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.

(haven't updated the tie-in comics)
Marvel Cinematic Universe (#1-4) tie-in comics :
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
The order to watch MCU including the shows (trying to keep shows as full seasons, will only separate by episodes if necessary)
Marvel TV Series prior to Disney+ haven’t been confirmed to be canon yet. Might be referenced, but not a full continuation.
ABC's Inhumans is notoriously the worst Marvel TV show. It isn't referenced aside from a character's variant appearing in a multiverse.
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3 as well as Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 are added in after Loki to show Variants of Spider-Man.
Agents of Shield originally was connected to movie events, but apparently that dropped off in later seasons. I’ll correct the list if/when I get around to watching past season 2.
Taken from marvel.com
Wouldn't have made this if Marvel didn't show only the last season of each series.
Deadpool and Wolverine not included until they show up in a crossover.

The best marvel watch order, movies, tv shows, web series, and shorts
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)
