One of the best seasons of Arrow, and easily of the entire Arrowverse, season 2 also goes uninterrupted as it was the only Arrowverse series still available at the time. Season 2 did mark the beginning of the future of the Arrowverse when Barry Allen debuted in episodes 2×8 and 2×9 of Arrow. The Flash hadn’t aired on The CW at the time, but Grant Gustin as Barry Allen was an instant hit with Arrow fans. Episode Chronological Order

The crossover between Arrow and The Flash was officially the very first of the Arrowverse and laid the groundwork for future crossovers. Every future season of Arrow and The Flash would have a crossover episode in the eighth or ninth episode of the season. It’s our recommendation that you watch the first seven episodes of Arrow, and then the first seven episodes of Flash before watching the crossover. Once you’ve watched the crossovers you can view the remaining episodes of Arrow and The Flash however you please, respectively. Episode Chronological Order

The fourth year of the Arrowverse saw two new massive arrivals, Supergirl and DC Legends of Tomorrow. Supergirl aired on CBS first before eventually arriving on The CW. DC Legend’s saw the utilization of all of the new, and established superheroes, and some rogues, from the previous three years. As Supergirl remained relatively separate from the rest of the Arrowverse, for the most part, in season one, you can get away with watching the majority of the series without worrying about continuity. Make sure to look out for episode 18 for when The Flash makes an appearance. Like the previous year, we’d recommend watching the first seven episodes of The Flash and Arrow, respectively, before watching the crossovers. Episode Chronological Order

The fifth year of the Arrowverse saw the addition of Supergirl to The CW after leaving her first home at CBS. Despite not having an official crossover episode with the rest of the Arrowverse, Supergirl still took part. Unless you are watching the episodes in chronological order we’d recommend watching the first seven episodes of The Flash and Arrow first, six episodes of DC’s Legends, and finally the first seven episodes of Supergirl. Once the crossover has been watched, you can view the remainder of each respective season accordingly. A fun mini crossover took place between The Flash and Supergirl in episode 17. The musical-themed episode saw Glee alumni Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist reunite to show off their talent.

Year 6 of the Arrowverse saw the introduction of its Black superhero lead, Cress Williams as Black Lightning. At the time the series didn’t take part in any of the Arrowverse crossovers so you can watch all 13 episodes of Black Lightning uninterrupted. It took 6 years, but the Crisis on Earth-X crossover became the biggest crossover event of the entire franchise, up to that point. Using four of the five Arrowverse series, the four-part crossover was the first to feature four episodes. Like the previous season, you should watch the first seven episodes of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow before viewing the crossover.

The seventh year of the Arrowverse introduced Batwoman and Lois Lane to the franchise, as well as Gotham City. The Elseworlds crossover reduced the number of episodes for the crossover but was the perfect set-up for the most anticipated crossover of the entire franchise, Crisis on Infinite Earths. Once again, Black Lightning did not feature in the crossover event. Like the previous years, if you aren’t watching the episodes in chronological order, you should watch the first eight episodes of The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl before viewing the Elseworlds crossover.

Arrowverse Year 8 Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning | Batwoman* Episodes: 79 Crossover Episodes: 6 Crossover Order:
Supergirl 5×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 1 Batwoman 1×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 2 Black Lightning 3×9 – The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis The Flash 6×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 3 Arrow 8×8 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 4
After eight long years of waiting, fans of the Arrowverse were treated to the most iconic event in DC history, Crisis on Infinite Earths. The five-part crossover (six, including Black Lightning) was the culmination of hundreds of hours’ worth of storytelling. Year seven saw the introduction of Batwoman, and in year eight the character received her own official series. Sadly, at the time of writing, Batwoman is not available to stream on Netflix. As the series takes place in the chronology of the crossover, we made sure to have it listed below, but you will need to watch it on The CW’s official website or own a subscription to HBO Max.
Crisis on Infinite Earths also helped end the story of Arrow, which after eight seasons came to an end at The CW. You will need to watch episodes one to eight of Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, and The Flash before viewing the cross-over. For Arrow, you will need to watch up to episode seven. Season five of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow started with the crossover, so you won’t have to worry about watching any episodes before then. It must be noted that other than Arrow and Black Lightning, all of The CW Arrowverse series were impacted by the COVID19 Pandemic. Seasons were cut short to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.

Arrowverse Year 9 Series: The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning | Batwoman* | Superman & Lois Episodes: 89 Crossover Episodes: 0 For the very first time since Arrowverse year 2, we’ve not seen an official crossover event for any of the superheroes. Given that the last crossover event was Crisis on Infinite Earths it would be extremely hard to follow up on one of DC’s most dramatic storylines. However, John Diggle of Arrow found himself guest-starring in episodes of Batwoman, The Flash, and Superman & Lois. We’ve opted to exclude Star Girl from this list as previously it was announced that the character was not part of the Arrowverse. But fortunes may change in the near future as John Wesley Shipp, the actor behind classic Jay Garrick, has recently featured in the show, which may open the door for the series to join the Arrowverse officially. Year 9 also saw the introduction of the series Superman & Lois, a spin-off of Supergirl. However, just like Batwoman, and Stargirl, the introduction of any new Arrowverse titles has not come to Netflix. At the time of writing, we’re still waiting for DC Legends season 6 to arrive on Netflix, and the sixth and final season of Supergirl is still currently airing, which will blend into Arrowverse year 10. Please Note: ‘Batwoman’ and ‘Superman & Lois’ are not on Netflix, so in order to watch the series you will need access to The CW website.

635 episodes, 30 seasons, 5 series, and hundreds of hours of content, that’s what awaits you with the galactic-sized binge of the Arrowverse on Netflix. Below we’ve compiled the complete guide on how to watch the Arrowverse on Netflix in 2023.
While Netflix holds the majority of The Arrowverse, the reality is the universe is even bigger but you’ll need a HBO Max subscription in the US. If you include those seasons by the end of 2022, there’ll be 725 episodes across 42 seasons.
What Arrowverse shows are on Netflix?
Here’s a breakdown of what Arrowverse shows are on Netflix as of April 2022:
- Arrow – 7 Seasons – 170 Episodes
- The Flash – 8 Seasons – 171 Episodes
- Supergirl – 6 Seasons – 126 Episodes
- DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – 7 Seasons – 110 Episodes
- Black Lightning – 4 Seasons – 58 Episodes
How to Watch The Arrowverse In Order By Year
As one of the largest possible binges on Netflix US, some subscribers, especially those new to the franchise, may need some help establishing how to watch the Arrowverse on Netflix in 2023.
We’ve gone through all eleven years of the Arrowverse and compiled the full list of how to watch all five series in chronological order. The crossovers won’t be an issue either, as we’ve made sure to detail when, how, and where to watch all of the Arrowverse crossovers.
For fans looking to watch the series in its true chronological order, episode to episode, across all five series, we’ve detailed how to achieve this below.
Arrowverse Year 1
Series: Arrow Episodes: 23 Crossover Episodes: 0
We start at the beginning with season 1 of Arrow. Year 1 of Arrowverse was literally just Arrow so that’s the best place to start.
Arrowverse Year 2
Series: Arrow Episodes: 23 Crossover Episodes: 2 (Technically)
One of the best seasons of Arrow, and easily of the entire Arrowverse, season 2 also goes uninterrupted as it was the only Arrowverse series still available at the time.
Season 2 did mark the beginning of the future of the Arrowverse when Barry Allen debuted in episodes 2×8 and 2×9 of Arrow. The Flash hadn’t aired on The CW at the time, but Grant Gustin as Barry Allen was an instant hit with Arrow fans.
Arrowverse Year 3
Series: Arrow | The Flash Episodes: 46 Crossover Episodes: 2 Crossover Order:
- The Flash 1×8 – Flash vs. Arrow
- Arrow 3×8 – The Brave and the Bold
The crossover between Arrow and The Flash was officially the very first of the Arrowverse and laid the groundwork for future crossovers. Every future season of Arrow and The Flash would have a crossover episode in the eighth or ninth episode of the season.
It’s our recommendation that you watch the first seven episodes of Arrow, and then the first seven episodes of Flash before watching the crossover. Once you’ve watched the crossovers you can view the remaining episodes of Arrow and The Flash however you please, respectively.
Arrowverse Year 4
Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow Episodes: 82 Crossover Episodes: 3 Crossover Order:
- The Flash 2×8 – Legends of Yesterday
- Arrow 4×8 – Legends of Today
- Supergirl 1×18 – World’s Finest
The fourth year of the Arrowverse saw two new massive arrivals, Supergirl and DC Legends of Tomorrow.
Supergirl aired on CBS first before eventually arriving on The CW. DC Legend’s saw the utilization of all of the new, and established superheroes, and some rogues, from the previous three years.
As Supergirl remained relatively separate from the rest of the Arrowverse, for the most part, in season one, you can get away with watching the majority of the series without worrying about continuity. Make sure to look out for episode 18 for when The Flash makes an appearance.
Like the previous year, we’d recommend watching the first seven episodes of The Flash and Arrow, respectively, before watching the crossovers.
Arrowverse Year 5
Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow Episodes: 85 Crossover Episodes: 4 Crossover Order:
- The Flash 3×8 – Invasion Part 1
- Arrow 5×8 – Invasion Part 2
- DC’s Legends of Tomorrow 2×7 – Invasion Part 3
- The Flash 3×17 – Duet
The fifth year of the Arrowverse saw the addition of Supergirl to The CW after leaving her first home at CBS. Despite not having an official crossover episode with the rest of the Arrowverse, Supergirl still took part.
Unless you are watching the episodes in chronological order we’d recommend watching the first seven episodes of The Flash and Arrow first, six episodes of DC’s Legends, and finally the first seven episodes of Supergirl. Once the crossover has been watched, you can view the remainder of each respective season accordingly.
A fun mini crossover took place between The Flash and Supergirl in episode 17. The musical-themed episode saw Glee alumni Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist reunite to show off their talent.
Arrowverse Year 6
Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning Episodes: 100 Crossover Episodes: 4 Crossover Order:
- Supergirl 3×8 – Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1
- Arrow 6×8 – Crisis on Earth-X, Part 2
- The Flash 4×8 – Crisis on Earth-X, Part 3
- DC’s Legends of Tomorrow 3×8 – Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4
Year 6 of the Arrowverse saw the introduction of its Black superhero lead, Cress Williams as Black Lightning. At the time the series didn’t take part in any of the Arrowverse crossovers so you can watch all 13 episodes of Black Lightning uninterrupted.
It took 6 years, but the Crisis on Earth-X crossover became the biggest crossover event of the entire franchise, up to that point. Using four of the five Arrowverse series, the four-part crossover was the first to feature four episodes.
Like the previous season, you should watch the first seven episodes of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow before viewing the crossover.
Arrowverse Year 7
Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning Episodes: 98 Crossover Episodes: 3 Crossover Order:
- The Flash 5×9 – Elseworlds, Part 1
- Arrow 7×9 – Elseworlds, Part 2
- Supergirl 4×9 – Elseworlds, Part 3
The seventh year of the Arrowverse introduced Batwoman and Lois Lane to the franchise, as well as Gotham City. The Elseworlds crossover reduced the number of episodes for the crossover but was the perfect set-up for the most anticipated crossover of the entire franchise, Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Once again, Black Lightning did not feature in the crossover event.
Like the previous years, if you aren’t watching the episodes in chronological order, you should watch the first eight episodes of The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl before viewing the Elseworlds crossover.
Arrowverse Year 8
Series: Arrow | The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning | Batwoman* Episodes: 79 Crossover Episodes: 6 Crossover Order:
- Supergirl 5×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 1
- Batwoman 1×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 2
- Black Lightning 3×9 – The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis
- The Flash 6×9 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 3
- Arrow 8×8 – Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 4
After eight long years of waiting, fans of the Arrowverse were treated to the most iconic event in DC history, Crisis on Infinite Earths. The five-part crossover (six, including Black Lightning) was the culmination of hundreds of hours’ worth of storytelling.
Year seven saw the introduction of Batwoman, and in year eight the character received her own official series. Sadly, at the time of writing, Batwoman is not available to stream on Netflix. As the series takes place in the chronology of the crossover, we made sure to have it listed below, but you will need to watch it on The CW’s official website or own a subscription to HBO Max.
Crisis on Infinite Earths also helped end the story of Arrow, which after eight seasons came to an end at The CW.
You will need to watch episodes one to eight of Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, and The Flash before viewing the cross-over. For Arrow, you will need to watch up to episode seven. Season five of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow started with the crossover, so you won’t have to worry about watching any episodes before then.
It must be noted that other than Arrow and Black Lightning, all of The CW Arrowverse series were impacted by the COVID19 Pandemic. Seasons were cut short to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.
Arrowverse Year 9
Series: The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Black Lightning | Batwoman* | Superman & Lois Episodes: 89 Crossover Episodes: 0
For the very first time since Arrowverse year 2, we’ve not seen an official crossover event for any of the superheroes. Given that the last crossover event was Crisis on Infinite Earths it would be extremely hard to follow up on one of DC’s most dramatic storylines.
However, John Diggle of Arrow found himself guest-starring in episodes of Batwoman, The Flash, and Superman & Lois.
We’ve opted to exclude Star Girl from this list as previously it was announced that the character was not part of the Arrowverse. But fortunes may change in the near future as John Wesley Shipp, the actor behind classic Jay Garrick, has recently featured in the show, which may open the door for the series to join the Arrowverse officially.
Year 9 also saw the introduction of the series Superman & Lois, a spin-off of Supergirl. However, just like Batwoman, and Stargirl, the introduction of any new Arrowverse titles has not come to Netflix.
At the time of writing, we’re still waiting for DC Legends season 6 to arrive on Netflix, and the sixth and final season of Supergirl is still currently airing, which will blend into Arrowverse year 10.
Please Note: ‘Batwoman’ and ‘Superman & Lois’ are not on Netflix, so in order to watch the series you will need access to The CW website.
Arrowverse Year 10
Series: The Flash | Supergirl | DC Legends of Tomorrow | Batwoman* | Superman & Lois Episodes: 67 Crossover Episodes: 5
The tenth year of the Arrowverse saw the cancellation of many shows. Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman came to an end.
The other two Arrowverse series that do not come to Netflix in year 10 are Batwoman and Superman & Lois. Those are both exclusive to HBO Max.
As for the crossover special, all of the episodes took place on The Flash, but characters from Supergirl, Black Lightning, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returned to reprise their roles.
Arrowverse Year 11
Series: The Flash | Superman & Lois Episodes: TBA
At the time of this update, the ninth and final season of The Flash is about to begin airing on The CW.
Superman & Lois will return with its third season, however, you will need a subscription to HBO Max in order to stream it.
