All Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Expansions & DLC in Order

After 10 years of content within The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), it can be hard to track the true order of expansions and DLC. This guide will list all the content by release date and cover where you should start ahead of Gold Road. The first true ESO DLC is the Imperial City, which was released in August 2015. It wasn’t until Morrowind in 2017 that annual Chapters became part of the yearly content model. However, the model continues to change, and you can find the order of them all since 2015 below:
