Five Nights at Freddy's - Timeline

[SunsetNet]

This is a timeline for the Five Nights at Freddy's Film series canon including the 2023 film, and it's two upcoming sequels. Let's hope it's not as divisive as the games!

(I did not include the Movie Novelization in this but i'll rely on some data from it that doesn't break the timeline.)

Five Nights at Freddy's = FCBB37

Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Reasoning (WIP):
First Movie: The security cameras at the DSS show the date 4/6/2000. Mike's watch shows the date April 11 after finishing his first shift and instances when we can see the hour too. I did not include the mid-credits scene because it requires explanation for it to work yet, and it looks like a joke on the jumpscare gag, but if you got anything to add or if it should be added regardless please speak up.

Five Nights at Freddy's Sister Location - Custom Night Cutscene
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
Ultimate Custom Night

Reasoning (WIP):
Five Nights at Freddy's 1 (TBA)
Five Nights at Freddy's 2: After finishing his fifth shift, Jeremy Fitzgerald receives a paycheck including the date 1987. Phone Guy, however, welcomes Fitzgerald to a "new summer job" in the first night, which contradicts for it happening in November.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3: Stage01's name already suggests this is the first performance or stage where the Springlock Animatronics are. The bear and bunny on stage parallel Fredbear and Springbonnie later on FNaF 4.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4: The fourth End-of-Night Minigame shows the TV playing a show called "Fredbear & Friends" with the copyright date of 1983 , and it suggests that's the moment the minigames take place in.
Five Nights at Freddy's Sister Location: After completion of the Custom Night (Golden Freddy, V.Hard Mode) a cutscene plays where we see Fazbear Fright: The Horror Attraction's state after the fire and Springtrap's rise, so it's placed right after the third game.
