This is a rough proposed chronology for the works in the Ekumen series. The chronology is estimated, as Ursula K. Le Guin has not published an "official" timeline.

- Date missing several 100 year before The Dispossessed The Day Before the Revolution
- c.2300 CE / LY -50 / EY ? - The Dispossessed
League of Worlds
- c.2368 CE / LY 18 / EY ? - The Word for World Is Forest
- c.2684 CE / LY 334 / EY ? - Rocannon's World
Post-League of Worlds, but Pre-Ekumen
- c.3755 CE / LY 1405 / EY ? - Planet of Exile
Ekumen
- c.4370 CE / LY 2020 / EY ? - City of Illusions
- c.4670 CE / LY 2520 / EY 1491- The Left Hand of Darkness
- date unknown The Telling (note some of the discription of earth flatly contradicts thing in City of Illusions)
- date unknown Coming of Age in Karhide
- date unknown Winter's King (post The Left Hand of Darkness)
- date unknown The Matter of Seggri
- date unknown Unchosen Love (this and the next could take place at anytime O being quite unchanging)
- date unknown Mountain Ways
Werel and Yeowe (These are undated but are listed in chronological order within themselves)
Churten (These are undated but are listed in chronological order within themselves)
Key
