"For All Mankind" season four is a science fiction television series showrun by Ronald D. Moore with Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi that premiered November 10th, 2023. So when is "For All Mankind" season 4 set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because in season four episode one "Glasnost", an "International Tribune" newspaper issue held open for the audience to see with a headline referring to an event in the episode is dated for "Monday, March 17, 2003". So it is almost certainly March of 2003 AD at the beginning.

Later, in the season finale, season four episode ten "Perestroika", an issue of the "Houston Sentinel" newspaper is seen. Though only a partial date is visible that reads "mber 7, 2003", the headline below it publicly reveals something seen in the final two episodes. So it is almost certainly November or December of 2003 AD at the end and the entire main action of the season definitively takes place in 2003 AD.
Additionally, there is a 2012 AD epilogue in just the final two shots of the season, clearly labeled by a time setting title card reading "2012". Though, it cannot be confirmed by context.
