The 2012–13 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2012 and ended with the 2013 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball tournament from March 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The regular season began on the first weekend of November 2012, with the conference schedule starting in December 2012.
