When Does "Impeachment: American Crime Story" ACS Season Three (2021) Take Place?
"Impeachment: American Crime Story" (ACS season three) is a historical fiction television show showran by Sarah Burgess and released September 7th, 2021.
It takes place in the year:
We know this because it depicts the real-world sexual affair (which lasted from November of 1995 AD to March of 1997 AD) and subsequent real-world impeachment of United States of America President William Clinton (from October 8th, 1998 AD to December 19th, 1998 AD).

Furthermore, season 3 episode 1 "Exiles" opens with a white-on-black title card reading, "January 1998 Washington, D.C." before a prologue sequence.
In season 3 episode 6 “Man Handled”, we see the first episode’s 1998 AD prologue from a new perspective and most content from here until the final season 3 episode 10 "The Wilderness" is contained within the 1998 AD calendar year.
Additionally, season 3 episode 1 "Exiles" includes a white-on-black title card telling us it's "JULY 1993 5 YEARS EARLIER" at the start of a flashback after the 1998 AD prologue. Then, another title card at about the three-quarter point labels the end of the episode as "April 1996 23 Months Later" just before scenes depicting the real-world Monica Lewinsky starting her job at the Pentagon spokesperson's office, which happened in April of 1996 AD. So some scenes must be in May of 1994 AD.
4.1996 - 23 months = 5.1994.
Season 3 episode 2 “The President Kissed Me” includes a title card halfway through making it clear it’s “Inauguration Day January 20, 1993” and the real-world first inauguration of President Clinton did occur in January of 1993 AD.
Season 3 episode 8 "Stand by Your Man" opens with a scene flashing back even further to 1992 AD.
