The men's tournament in wheelchair basketball at the 2012 Summer Paralympics was held from 30 August to 8 September. Competitions were held at the newly built Basketball Arena, which seated 10,000 spectators, and North Greenwich Arena (The O2 Arena renamed to through the Games because of a no-commercialisation policy on arena names). 44 matches were played, 30 in the preliminary round, and 14 in the classification and medal rounds. Canada beat defending champions Australia in the final, while United States beat Great Britain in the match for the bronze medal.
