This is a timeline of events for Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. It includes specific events sorted by month. The months start in April because the series and Japanese school/business calendar starts in April.

The series begins in April, but the year is unknown. There are several possible years which the series could be in.

The series can be considered to start in the year it was released, 2011-2012. The technology mentioned in the series appears to match that time as well (PSP's, iPhone 4s, etc.).

A second possibility is revealed in light novel Volume 4. In chapter 1, there is mention of Saburo Omura returning to play for the Chiba Lotte Marines baseball team. He was traded midway through the 2011 baseball season (April - October). After the season he re-signed with the Marines for the 2012 season. This sets an exact date of August 2012, and dates the series as 2012. It might just be an author oversight as this novel released in 2012.

A third possibility is when the anime was released in 2013. Many posters in the show are labelled to say 2013.

A fourth possibility is revealed in Season 2 Episode 3. At one point in Season 2 Episode 3 a calendar showing "Monday the 1st" with only 30 days in the month. There are only 3 months from 2010-2015 that this could be. The episode happens in November and the only date this matches is November 2010, setting a possible timeline for 2010-2011. However the 8th is a holiday that does not match that particular date.

A final possibility is that the series is meant to be held in whatever year the light novel/manga volume is written or the anime is aired in. This is supported by Hachiman making reference to the Reiwa era of the Japanese calendar, which did not begin until 2019, in Volume 14; references to media that was not released until the late 2010s such as the Kaguya-sama: Love is War series; the characters' use of late 2010s software such as augmented reality filters, the LINE text messaging app and late 2010s devices such as laptops lacking disc drives and large-screen smartphones; and a calendar in Season 3 Episode 1 showing the year 2020.
