7th
A few pieces of evidence, from small dates on screens and a newspaper saying Danny is "25", not 24, overall suggest that the season is set around mid-2016. However, a Chinese festival appearing in Snow Gives Way includes lion and dragon dances and the zodiac monkey mask (2016 was indeed the Year of the Monkey), all heavily suggesting that the festival is Chinese New Year. This lines up with the other, broader evidence. Charlie Cox is quoted as saying The Defenders: Season 1 is 6 months after Daredevil: Season 2 (1, 2), which would place that season around May/June 2016, and the overall result of Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick's comments about the time between Dragon Plays with Fire and The Defenders: Season 1 suggested a little over 2 months' span ("several months", "1 month", "about 2 months", "a couple of months"), which, working back, would indeed line up with Dragon Plays with Fire ending in March 2016. Worst Behavior also shows that by The Defenders: Season 1, Elektra's resurrection (December 25, 2015) was "months ago", and it is said in the season that Danny leaving for K'un-Lun/starting to go after the Hand were both also "months" prior. The fact that the same timespan is given since both A Cold Day in Hell's Kitchen and Dragon Plays with Fire would suggest that the events are close together, within 2-3 months of each other, certainly not 7 months apart. Using Chinese New Year, which lines up with this more important evidence, the season revolves around February 8, 2016 (Chinese New Year 2016).

8th

 * Peter Parker returns to school following his summer holidays, beginning his sophomore year. On the train to school, he texts Happy Hogan to say that he is available for any missions he is needed for. Hogan continues not to reply, as he has done all summer.In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the film begins after the "two months later" text on a school day, and the following day, the day of Liz Toomes' party, is later said to have been a Friday. What is implied to be the following school day, therefore Monday, is when Parker puts the tracker on Toomes' men. The next day (as Parker has to rush, he has not had another day to ask), Parker rejoins the decathlon team as they leave, the day before the competition. A poster early in the film says that the decathlon will be on October 13-15, and at that point Mr. Harrington also asks if Parker cannot spare one weekend for it. However, later, another poster is more clearly shown with the date of September 14th, which makes more sense with all the other evidence and is more prominent and presumably newer, therefore this is the date for it, and the weekend mention is no longer valid as the date must have been changed since then. However, when they get back into school, the Washington incident is referred to on the Midtown High TV news as having happened "this weekend". There is an internal inconsistency here, as at least 2 days after the incident, Parker refers to Toomes' party as "last Friday", but it cannot be "last Friday" if there has been at least another school day + a "weekend" since the party, as well as the fact that the men coming to find the Chitauri object cannot realistically be more than the first school day after the party, and Parker rejoining the group cannot be realistically more than the day after that. With the September 14th date, which is a Wednesday, this all lines up much better as the film starting on Thursday 8th, the party being Friday 9th, Toomes' men coming on Monday 12th, Parker rejoining the group on Tuesday 13th, and then the incident on the 14th. It can be assumed that following the incident, Parker's classmates spent another day or so in Washington, D.C., and/or were not in on Friday to allow them to recover, and so they are returning on Monday, victorious, and the school news incorrectly reports it as having happened at "the weekend" - besides, they are presented as unreliable newsreaders. It has to be assumed either way that the "last Friday" is simply a Monday referring to "not the Friday just been, but last Friday". This would then be the Monday, September 19th, putting the Skirmish on the Staten Island Ferry on the 20th, and the homecoming dance on Friday 23rd, which fits perfectly with this ticket prop an extra posted a photo of, and matching tickets officially on display at an event in Japan.
