The third season of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun started and Accelerator, one of
the main villains of Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main character of Toaru
Kagaku no Accelerator appears in the first episode. How is this series placed
in the timeline then? Does Toaru Kagaku no Railgun season 3 happens after or
before the events of Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator?

The _Accelerator_ anime covers the [Necromancer
Arc](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Necromancer_Arc), which (in-
universe) starts in early September and ends sometime before September 14.

The _Railgun T_ anime covers the [Daihaisei Festival Arc (Railgun
version)](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Daihasei_Festival_Arc_\(Railgun\)),
which (in-universe) starts on September 19 and ends on September 20. It might
also cover the [Dream Ranker
Arc](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Ranker_Arc) after that,
which (in-universe) starts on September 26 and ends sometime in mid-October.

_Index_ , _Railgun_ , and _Accelerator_ pretty much all take place within the
same year (not counting flashbacks), but as readers/watchers, we're not sure
which year it is (it's never specified directly). See the footnote on the
[Unified Story
Timeline#Trivia](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Unified_Story_Timeline#Trivia)
page on the Toaru Wikia for more information.
