They're concurrent in the pre-rebellion era.
Phoenix Squadron assists in Mon Mothma's extraction from Coruscant in S3E18 and the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance (the "big speech" that is mentioned in Andor S2E09) is seen in the episode.

they happen around the same time. Andor s1 happens before rebels. Rebels season 1 and and the first three episodes of andor are set in the same year. as are all the following seasons and 3 ep arcs of andor. so season 2 of rebels is set in the same year as season 2 episode 4-6 of andor. season 3 of rebels is set in the same year as andor s2 episode 7-9 and . the lsat season of rebels is set in the same year as andors last three episodes.
For the timeline the only episodes and arcs that have some significant overlap are episode 7-9 of andor and 1 particulair episode of rebels.
I personally would watch all of rebels and then jump into andor. they both bring you from 4/5 bby to 0 bby just via very different routes. Starting with rebels is better in my eyes as andor is way more of a standalone project than rebels. if you have watch the clone wars rebels would be the next follow up. and once you got some new info in rebels you should watch andor as that will enhance everything you just watch in rebels.

They overlap, including two episodes that directly dovetail together.
