Based on the canon [[Timeline]] and the fact that the prologue features the main series characters fighting [[Patricia]], arc 1 begins in the spring, no earlier than March 25 but potentially as late as mid-June. For the sake of having a concrete date to work with, the following will assume the prologue occurs on March 25.

This is a rough timeline of events in the Magia Record game. It's a work-in-progress and partly speculative. Note that the Magia Record timeline is wholly incompatible with the main Madoka Magica timeline, as arc 1 takes place over several months (at least two, likely more) whereas Madoka Magica is only a month and a half at most... unless it's taken to be an alternate final timeline, or if Homura's time travel is fixed to a specific point in time rather than a specific period of time.

7 Years Ago

5 Years Ago

  • Hinano becomes a magical girl
  • Kanagi becomes a magical girl
    • This is a little ambiguous – she may have contracted a little earlier, but not too much earlier given her appearance in Kanae's story.

4 Years Ago

3 Years Ago

2 Years Ago

1 Year Ago

  • Manaka becomes a magical girl
  • Sana becomes a magical girl
    • There's some uncertainty in just when Sana contracted; Manaka's side story seems to imply that they became magical girls around the same time, but there could have been a few months between them, as the only certainty is that Manaka is still a first-year student by the time she meets Sana who has already contracted.
  • Rena becomes a magical girl and teams up with Momoko
  • Kaede becomes a magical girl and teams up with Momoko and Rena
  • Tsuruno gains infamy for dueling magical girls until she’s beaten by Yachiyo and joins her team
  • Mel joins Yachiyo’s team
  • Tsukasa and Tsukuyo become magical girls
  • Karin becomes a magical girl on Halloween
  • Other magical girls known to be active by this point: Masara, Kanoko, Ria, Konomi, Ikumi, Yumi
  • The Mirror Witch sparks the events of Breakpoint, eventually being lured to an abandoned mansion that becomes the Endless Mirrors
  • Mel turns into a witch

Arc 1

Based on the canon Timeline and the fact that the prologue features the main series characters fighting Patricia, arc 1 begins in the spring, no earlier than March 25 but potentially as late as mid-June. For the sake of having a concrete date to work with, the following will assume the prologue occurs on March 25. This timeline mainly uses a minimum estimate of the time frame, so in some cases there could easily be a few extra days inserted.

Date Chapter Event Notes
March 25 Prologue Homura receives visions about coming to Kamihama for salvation With reference to main canon timeline, as she's fighting against Patricia.
March 25 1 Iroha visits Kamihama, where she meets Kaede, Momoko, Yachiyo, and the Coordinator. There's nothing specific to link the two events, but it seems to make sense for them to be around the same time frame.
March 26 2 Iroha checks out Satomi Medical Centre and learns about the Rule of Ending Friendships. Although it's not clear how many days passed since she met Yachiyo and Momoko, there's no reason to believe she'd wait more than she has to, so the next day seems most likely.
March 27 2 Iroha asks Mitama about the Rule of Ending Friendships. As above; it's clearly a different day since she's briefly seen in her bedroom, but the next day seems most likely.
March 31 2 Momoko gets fed up with Kaede and Rena. Kaede is taken by the Rumour of the Friendship Ending Staircase, then rescued. Rena checks out the hospital records for Iroha. As shown by the in-game backgrounds (showing the city at night, then daytime), at least 4 days have passed.
April 4 3 Kaede suggests Ui may have been taken by a rumor, so Iroha asks Mitama and hears about the Séance Shrine. She runs into Tsuruno while investigating it. Iroha says she hasn't found a single clue "since last week", which implies a weekend has passed in the meantime. Since March 31 is a Thursday on Homura's calendar in Episode 10, that means at least four days to reach Monday.
April 5 3 Iroha does the Mizuna Shrine stamp quest and runs into Yachiyo, but they can't find the shrine. Again, the only reason to place this on the next day is that Iroha has no reason to wait longer than she has to.
April 6 3 Iroha goes to investigate the shrine on top of the old Mizuna Hotel, but runs into a witch instead, as well as Yachiyo. By the time they've defeated the witch, Yachiyo has realized the Séance Shrine's identity, so they agree to meet the following day. Tsuruno and Iroha agreed to investigate the following day.
April 7 3 Iroha meets up with Yachiyo and Tsuruno to investigate the Séance Shrine. Yachiyo and Iroha agreed to investigate the following day.
