The 2022–23 Houston Cougars men's basketball team represents the University of Houston in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cougars are led by ninth-year head coach Kelvin Sampson. The team plays their home games at the Fertitta Center as members of the American Athletic Conference. In September 2021, Houston and fellow conference members Cincinnati and UCF accepted bids to join the Big 12 Conference. The schools had been contractually required to remain with The American through 2024, but all reached a separation agreement that will allow them to join the Big 12 in 2023. Accordingly, the 2022–23 season will be the program's last season as a member of The American.
