† Pac-12 Conference tournament winner

The 2018–19 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2018 followed by the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season on November 6, 2018. The conference schedule will begin in December 2018. This is the seventh season under the Pac–12 Conference name and the 59th since the conference was established under its current charter as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959. Including the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, which operated from 1915 to 1959 and is considered by the Pac-12 as a part of its own history, this is the Pac-12's 103rd season of basketball.[1]

The Pac-12 tournament was held from March 13–16, 2019, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
