For years in the production of 24, please refer to the production timeline.

The timeline of 24 has never been pinned down. The creative team behind 24 has resisted placing any season in any specific year; moreoever, the few date references given tend to conflict with each other, as well as with real life.

Relative timeline Edit

Note: Most of the 24 novels and comic books have no specific reference points to place them on the timeline; they are ordered in sequence in the time period they occurred. Since the series takes place in no specific year, the years will be told by BD1, which stands for Before Day 1, and AD1, which stands for After Day 1.

Theories about the timeline Edit

There are many possible years in which to place Day 1 based on the available evidence.

  • 1993
    • An aerial shot in "Day 1: 9:00am-10:00am" shows the LA Convention Center expansion in the early stages of construction. The building was constructed in 1993.
  • 1998
    • A calendar visible in "Day 4: 10:00am-11:00am" shows July/August 2004, placing Day 1 in July/August 1998.
    • Andrew Paige's driver's license in "Day 4: 10:00am-11:00am" was issued on 04/21/2003 and expired on 05/15/07, placing Day 1 between between April 1997 and May 2001.
    • Dates in the twelfth episode of 24: Conspiracy show 03/05/04 to 07/05/04, placing Day 1 in 1998.
    • In the intro of Day 1, it is shown that The Petronas Towers are in the finishing touches of construction. The towers were not fully completed until late 1998.
  • 1999
    • Andrew Paige's driver's license in "Day 4: 10:00am-11:00am" was issued on 04/21/2003 and expired on 05/15/07, placing Day 1 between between April 1997 and May 2001.
    • There is a 'Clamshell' iBook in Kim Bauer's room in Day 1. This computer was first released in July 1999.
  • 2000
    • This is an election year in real life.
    • A calendar visible in "Day 1: 8:00am-9:00am" may represent August/September 2000.
    • This year places Operation Nightfall in 1998, when Slobodan Milosevic was still in power.
    • Recent dates in Reza Naiyeer's passport appear to be from 2001, placing Day 1 in 2000 or 2001.
    • Andrew Paige's driver's license in "Day 4: 10:00am-11:00am" was issued on 04/21/2003 and expired on 05/15/07, placing Day 1 between between April 1997 and May 2001.
    • Sherry Palmer is clearly using Mac OS X on her laptop in Day 1. This OS was first released as a public beta "Kodiak" in late 2000. Though it is more likely to be used as a primary desktop OS after its official release, "Cheetah", in January of 2001.
