Stargate Watch Order & Timeline

The original film makes the gate a discovery before television makes it a way of working. Starting there gives SG-1's expeditions a foundation: people from Earth are learning how much of the galaxy lies beyond a device they have only just understood.

The later series change the expedition and its circumstances, rather than replacing all prior history. Earlier-set Origins is another perspective on that discovery. Infinity uses an animated future outside the live-action route, so its place among releases is not evidence that every live-action character eventually reaches its setting.

Watch the film and begin SG-1 before moving toward the live-action spin-offs. Use the listed broad route for Atlantis, the SG-1 films and Universe, while recognizing that whole-show blocks do not resolve every overlap. Save Origins as a look back, and choose Infinity separately.

The live-action group links the film, series and later origin material. Infinity remains a separate animation choice rather than the verified end of that same history.

• Main Screen Continuity (8 entries)

  The film-led live-action world of SG-1, Atlantis, Universe, associated films and Origins, with overlapping series retained as broad complete-work entries.

• Infinity Animation (1 entry)

  Stargate Infinity's separate animated future, not assumed to be the eventual history of the live-action expeditions.

The film and SG-1 introduce the gate programme before later crews and settings ask more of the shared world.

Origins has earlier story placement, while the long-running expeditions can overlap. Full-series positions and release ranges cannot date every mission precisely.
