Although the Kingdom Hearts series has only three parts, its stories can be very complicated due to numerous spin-offs and a confusing storyline, so Square Enix has published a separate video explaining the order in which the games should be played:

Here's What We Know

So, first, you should play through Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix: this collection includes the first game, Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, and footage from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Next, it is worth taking up Birth by Sleep Final Mix - the prequel contains an important backstory of the series. After that, you should play Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, which includes Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage. And finally, after that, you can start playing Kingdom Hearts 3.

For those interested in the chronological order, the video also covers that aspect.
