This is the unofficial timeline of The Hunger Games trilogy detailing major events as they occur or are described throughout The Hunger Games 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 Treaty of Treason, as it mark the year in which the Hunger Games were established and put into law by the Capitol. The designations used to label years will be B.T.T. (Before the Treaty of Treason) and A.T.T. (After the Treaty of Treason).

As this has yet to be completed and many events of the past, present and future have yet to be revealed, many events will have approximate dates or will be listed as unknown.
