Complete Watch Order: All Fast & Furious Movies
The Fast & Furious franchise spans over 20 years and 11+ films. The recommended watch order is slightly different from release order due to The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift being chronologically the 6th film.
Films and shows are listed in the recommended viewing order. Numbers indicate watch sequence.

Chronological order places Tokyo Drift between Fast 6 and Furious 7: 1 → 2 Fast 2 Furious → Fast & Furious → Fast Five → Fast 6 → Tokyo Drift → Furious 7 → Fate of the Furious → Hobbs & Shaw → F9 → Fast X.
Yes, but chronologically it takes place after Fast & Furious 6. The character Han, who appears in films 3–6, died in Tokyo Drift — Furious 7 finally shows the full context of his death.
Hobbs & Shaw is a standalone spin-off that doesn't affect the main story. You can skip it and follow the main saga without missing any essential plot points.
