This sandbox is being used to list DOOM media, sorted by in-universe chronological order. Because of the ambiguity of when exactly most material in the franchise is set, and its many anachronisms, this list is separated into sections by each respective era, and makes use of a heavy amount of guesstimating.
This lists exclude (unless stated why otherwise):
- Media within the expanded universe (board games, books, films, etc.).

Notes
- There are multiple contradictions from official and semi-official sources as to when the original DOOM games take place:
- The manual for the SNES port of DOOM claims that the Instruction Booklet was published on 15/03/2022
- John Romero later claimed that this is in fact false, as the SNES manual was not wrote by ID
- Based on Tom Hall's comments on Doomguy being Commander Keen's grandson, that would set the original DOOM games, at the earliest, in the mid-2030s (assuming Keen [aged 8 in the early 1990s] and his future child each had a child at the age of 18)
- According to the Death Certificate that came with the "Daisy, The Pet Rabbit" doll sold by John Romero, Inferno of the original DOOM takes place on 29/05/2020
- The SNES manual date may still be accurate as it is more than likely, in-universe, it was published after the events of the original DOOM
- If assuming Doomguy is Keens's son rather than his grandson, the 2020s timeframe is still accurate
- Whilst it's unconfirmed whether or not Official Add-Ons are canon to the DOOM timeline, ones that do not contradict anything official will be included for the sake of completeness
- No End in Sight appears to be set in an alternate reality from DOOM, or one that splits off from the timeline after DOOM II
- The end slide states that the DOOM series (or at the very least DOOM (1993)) exists within this reality as a video game series
- The end slide also suggests that the human race, apart from Doomguy, is now extinct, which contradicts official games set after DOOM II
- The official story contradicts the ending of DOOM II, as it states that the invasion of Earth did not cease after the death of the Icon of Sin
