“One of the great favors that Days of Future Past did for all of us is establish that there are many streams,” “One answer is that we exist in one of those streams. This is its own universe, we don’t exist in the same timeline as any specific movie or comics. But there are shared characters. We’re doing our own thing, and, as I say, there are many streams.”

That pretty much answers it. Although I REALLY need to take more notice of the timeline. The series references events that happened in the 50s, two decades before the "streams" diverged in the 70s.

Continuity with these FOX properties is a real headache.
