Optional viewing between seasons:

  • Constantine: Season 1 (This does not need to be placed into the chronological viewing order, because it would heavily disrupt the shows that have always been a part of the Arrowverse and its canon. Constantine, the character developed in this season, has cameo appearances moving forward in the Arrowverse.)
  • Supergirl: Season 1, Eps. 1-17 (The Flash is confirmed to visit her world in 1×18, but her universe is otherwise unaffected by the Arrowverse, and vice versa.)
  • Superhero Fight Club (This promo is actually intended to draw hype for the final episodes of Arrow s3 and The Flash s1, arriving after The Flash 1×18. This is definitely not intended to be canonical. But it’s cool. Watch it here.)

  1. Be super awesome if someone could finish this list. I have seen a few others but this seems to be best so far everything else is just back and forth with air date and it doesn’t line up so well all the time. Thanks

    1. I don’t know about the author, but I might post an updated list in the comments in several weeks/a month like I did last year.
      Last year I ordered by storyline, so if last week’s Flash should be watched after this week’s Supergirl, I would order it that way. Since I’m behind with watching right now, I’m going to stick to the regular order unless I find evidence to the contrary.

      1. I just found your old comment that finishes season 5 of arrow and 3 of flash. Exactly what I needed. I’m current but the misses is just starting season 2 of flash so trying to get a good order for her. Thanks and look forward to your list on the current season.

      1. Check out Trakt.tv! Personally I don’t use any apps, just the website, but Teevee for iOS is beautiful if you don’t watch many shows (or if you hide most of them). There are some other good apps too, but my advice is to start with the website. Regardless, here are supported apps: https://trakt.tv/apps

      3. Hey, Miggins, I don’t see you making your own list. This guy is going out of his way to compile this list for us because You and the CW sure aren’t doing it! While you have your butt parked in front of your TV, “:)” has life to attend to before pacifying your appetite for fantasy television.

      5. I could swear the post was updated 1-2 months ago, but I guess I misread! If you scroll down in the comments you can find my list. It follows airing order, unless deviation is required story-wise. You can choose to watch all of Vixen at any point in time or skip it altogether.

    2. Hey dickhead,

      I was simply asking if he was gonna finish it? Not demanding he finish it or anything like that. Just a normal request I have seen made numerous times earlier on this forum. Of course we appreciate this guy/girl for the work he/she does i was simply asking when he was gonna finish it. I think your comment was pretty rude and uncalled for. You just totally escalated things out of proportion. It’s not like I’m demanding he starts from scratch and also does a this is us guide too or something. Just a normal simple request and you had to go and make a fuss about it. Hope you can appreciate people asking normal questions or youre a bit of a dick. 🙂

        Only after I posted my comment. So please stop implying I’m stupid.”

        So, who is the dickhead now?

  12. Here is what should be the complete order of all series’ episodes this season. Titles might miss an exclamation or question mark here and there and the titles of the final episodes of Arrow, Supergirl and The Flash are yet to be announced. Legends of Tomorrow will conclude this season on Wednesday 5 April and Supergirl will pick up on April 25. All of Vixen and most of Supergirl’s episodes can be watched out of order.

      1. Hey Miggins, I inserted gaps after about 3 or 4 episodes of each series to make this huge list better readable. Because of the six-part Vixen season in the beginning, I deviated a little, so it is not supposed to indicate an order. 🙂

    1. I wrote this elsewhere: “Vixen S02E01 comes after LoT S02E01 and the 5 following episodes follow the respective Legends episode. But you can watch them all at the same time if you want, it makes no difference story-wise.”

      1. Actually, it comes sometime before Arrow 4×18 because [SPOILERS]

        Laurel is still alive but Jax’s Firestorm is there which means it’s between whenever he was introduced in the Flash and that Arrow episode. Also before Legends whenever he gets taken away and because Ray is there which he references in LoT Season 2. Also, it is Mari, not Amaya.

  28. This is the current viewing order I am following while watching the 2016/17 seasons of all the shows. I’m aware Supergirl is virtually unaffected, but watching Supergirl like this breaks it up for me a little better, because I sometimes find it a little tiring to watch. This order is just based off of the release dates. But I thought it might be helpful

  29. Will you add the new 2016/17 seasons when they are finished with airing or soon? Because I want to start watching the new seasons, but I want it with the help of this awesome list.

      1. Well the new season of Vixen is really before. Weather Wizard is in the first episode and *SPOILERS* Black Canary was confirmed as a character in the season. Anything after that, especially Supergirl since it’s in another universe, we may have to wait till episodes 7 and 8 because of the four night crossover. After that, putting everything in chronological order should be super easy.

      2. I just rewatched Vixen and noticed that not only does Barry have the white emblem, but Jax us Firestorm. This means it takes place somewhere in the middle of season 2 of Flash and possibly before the Arrow/Vixen crossover episode in season 4 of Arrow.

      1. Am I to assume that the viewing order is the airdate for each episode? I’m updating the spreadsheet I sent you earlier this year and because the seasons just started, I’m thinking about just putting them in as they air. I’m thinking this is how The CW wants it.

      2. I guess I’m wondering if starting this season, all of Supergirl should be included in the list or if her crossovers with the Arrowverse are the only ones necessary because most everything else that happens in her world doesn’t effect the other universes and vise versa… I’m not certain of that last statement, but being that most of the Arrowverse is contained on Earth I, there is a lot more potential for bleedover.

  30. I think you should put The Race of His Life last on this list because at the end of the episode Barry creates flashpoint yet on this list you put Lost in the Flood and Schism after it but the universe in them is completely unaffected.

  31. So I’m watching supergirl now while I’m waiting for season two of the flash and season four arrow to be on Netflix. If I watched episode 18 of supergirl without watching season two of the flash would I understand it? I don’t mind spoilers.

  32. Do you think batman/Bruce will get his own show on cw or at least be in arrow and flash? I’ve noticed many batman references like how arrow says that the code name oracle is already taken, or on the future newspaper 2024 in the flash wayne/queen inc merge. Thats only 8 years from now. Or the countless times they mention Gotham criminals.

    1. Vixen is a short animated show, I believe 6 minutes in length, about a character (Vixen) who will eventually show up as a live action character in this series. It uses many of the actors from Flash/Arrow to reprise their roles in voice acting roles. I wasn’t a huge fan, but for completionists it’s a fun thing. Ultimately all six eps come out to less than the length of a normal episode.

  35. Every summer I binge watch a show. This year I started Flash, got through the first episode and realized I needed to go back and watch Arrow first. Glad I did and glad I found this list!! I’m in the last 6 episode (2 each of Flash, Arrow, and LOT) and your list has been great!

    1. I will say though, the placement of the Supergirl episode seems weird to me… It comes after Barry loses his speed? Did you put it there just because the numbers matched and they didn’t actually ever address his visit to Supergirl’s Earth in Flash?

      3. If happen in the middle of Flash vs Zoom, then does Flash not remember visiting Supergirl? Seems unlikely to me that he spent time there during Flash vs Zoom. Only spot it’d fit is during his initial test of the tachyon device, and there is nothing from him to suggest he travelled to another Earth at that point. It’s a tad confusing, as I’ve been following the order on this list, and am no win the position of Flash losing his speed the episode after he arrives late at Laurel’s funeral, talking about how he’s just fought Zoom. Thus, meaning A: Canary Cry takes place at the same after episode 19 of Flash.

      4. I’m watching everything for the first time and I noticed in The Flash s1e7 (at least), on the bottom of the future newspaper, there’s an article titled along the lines of “Wayne Inc./Queen Inc. Merger Successful”, so Batman definitely exists in this universe somehow.

      6. When Felicity first becomes overwatch, Oliver says that he “tried to get Oracle but that one was taken”, Oracle is the name Batgirl takes after she loses the ability to walk so I think they definitely exist in the same universe.

      1. this is great. now a watch order for the chicago trilogy would be pretty awesome also.

  45. I’ve been using this list to watch Arrow and the Flash alongside each other. There have been many cases where the list is out of order. For instance, Flash 1:18 All Star Team Up obviously comes before Arrow 3:18 Public Enemy. With what happened in Arrow 3:18, Felicity would not be galavanting off in Central City.

    I’ve used this list up to episodes 18, and it hasn’t been very accurate. Maybe the release order isn’t accurate either, but I bet it’s more accurate than this list.

    1. Your issue has been noted by many other users. We’ve been trying to come up with a reasonable order since F1x18 arrived. There really isn’t one. It’s a flub in the writing. Thanks for using the list though.

    2. It can’t happen anywhere. It can’t happen between Arrow 3×17 and 3×18 because Ray gets shot at the end of 3×17 (and the scene is repeated at the start of 3×18). It can’t happen before 3×17 because Ray doesn’t know who the arrow is or that felicity works with him (which he clearly does in All Star Team Up). It can’t happen between Arrow 3×18 and 3×19 because in 3×19 Ray says to Felicity ‘what are you doing here Oliver Queen and Roy Harper are both in handcuffs’ which clearly means he hasn’t seen Felicity since 3×18. It can’t happen after 3×19 because in it Ray realises Felicity still has feelings for Oliver which makes him a bit sad mostly just not wanting to be with Felicity, but in All Star Team Up they are perfect with eachother. So it can’t happen anywhere. A flub in the writing.

  46. Just watched flash 2.19 and arrow 4.19. At the end of Arrow Barry.A turns up at the grave and leaves in a flash but in Flash 2.19 he no longer has his speed.

      1. Yes, the cemetery scene takes place, I think, six months after the content of that episode. It says so right on the screen.

      4. Disagree. It was six months into the future from the start of the season. When Barry goes to the cemetery, it was just after the funeral. So current time

      5. Just watched Arrow 4×19: Canary Cry. The scene with Barry is not in the future (it was in the first episodes of Arrow, but now it’s present day), so it’s right after the funeral. Which means Flash 2×18 should happen after Arrow 4×19.
        Furthermore I would put Supergirl 1×18 right after it, it makes more sense to me, but you can still put it before Flash 2×18, just not sooo long before it as in the list above.
        I would say: Arrow 4×19, Flash 2×18 and then Supergirl 1×18.
        One last word: THIS LIST IS AWESOME!! I watched everything according to this list and I love the work you put into this. THANKS!!!

  48. I think better place Legends of Tomorrow 1×08: Night of the Hawk before Legends of Tomorrow 1×09: Left Behind and after Arrow 4×17: Beacon of Hope

      1. Any reason for not including them, if you chose not to? (No pressure! It’s not like we’re in a hurry, Cisco’s blog is over anyway.)

        Thanks for the list by the way, I’ve referred many people to it who are or were behind. 🙂
