Fortunately,Daredevil: Born Againstar Wilson Bethel, who plays Bullseye, has explained it during a panel at Fan Expo San Francisco. He has detailed the show’s place among other shows in the same universe.
Bethel has explained thatDaredevil: Born Againtakes place five years after the show ended. Since the originalDaredevilrun ended the story sometime in 2017-2018, meaning the show takes place around 2022-2023.

Bethel explains that this jump allows him to develop the character [via Collider]: “These are characters who have all lived five years of life and all of the twists and turns that you take in the meantime.”
“So whether or not even those stories are necessarily on screen, there’s just that little extra bit of life in there, which I think is… as an actor, it gives you an opportunity to bring whatever your own journey has been in that time and they get sort of a little longer in the tooth.”
The current MCU takes place around 2026, withDaredevilcharacters like Matt and Fisk making short appearances in several projects set around then.

This means, for example, that Matt’s appearances inSpider-Man: No Way HomeandShe-Hulkpossibly take place afterDaredevil: Born Again.
This all sounds a bit wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. Hopefully when the show launches on Disney Plus we’ll get a solid confirmation aboutDaredevil’s exact place in the timeline.
Daredevil: Born Againpremieres on Disney Plus on 4th March, 2025.
