From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Actually, validity aside, we don't truly need FftF to define the year in which The Pilot happens.

I just came across a part of The Shining Man (novel) where Bill, the Doctor and Charlotte are talking, and Bill says "Sweet. They were coming out in August, so it’s not far off when we left. Is it still 2017?", to which Charlotte answers "Of course it is". That said, The Pilot definitely happens on 2016/2017.
