The 2012–13 Southeastern Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2012, followed by the start of the regular season in November. Conference play started in early January 2013, and concluded in March with the 2013 SEC men's basketball tournament at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. This was the first season for two former Big 12 teams, as the Texas A&M Aggies and the Missouri Tigers played their first season in the SEC.
