This is a time-line of the main events that occur during the Jericho TV series. Small details are assumed to be understood by the audience from watching the episodes themselves. (To add a more detailed summary of each show, contribute to the Episode Guides.) The goal of this page is to create a feel for the time and dates of major events in the series. Events are listed by date and in chronological order.

This time-line was created by using logic and common sense to piece together the approximate times involved. For example, Red Flag takes place during Thanksgiving, so Red Flag was used as a base, then the dates are determined from that by monitoring the day/night cycle and the captions that state time elapsed since the bombs.

* = Event re-shown or elaborated upon since a previous episode.
