This sandbox is being used to list DOOM media, sorted by in-universe chronological order.
These lists exclude:
- DOOM 3 media and the RPG series
- Media that could be set at any point in the timeline or their respective connected game's setting (such as the Doom comic and Master Levels for DOOM II)
- Media that is non-canon, unconfirmed canon, and/or set within its own contained universe (the board games, novels, and two films, etc.), unless stated why otherwise

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
- 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
- REKKR is set in a universe unrelated to DOOM
