Timeline

This is the unofficial timeline of The Hunger Games Trilogy detailing major events as they occur or are described throughout the series.

This timeline uses an unofficially recognized, non-canonical calendar system in order to provide a relative reference to events in the trilogy. The origin year will be based on The Dark Days, as they mark the year immediately preceding the establishment of the Hunger Games by the Capitol. The designations used to label years will be B.D.D. (Before Dark Days) and A.D.D. (After Dark Days).

As The Hunger Games Trilogy has yet to be completed and many events of the past, present and future have yet to be revealed, the timeline is still under construction. Many events will have approximate dates or will be listed as unknown.
