The 2020–21 California Golden Bears men's basketball team represented the University of California, Berkeley, in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. In Mark Fox's second year as head coach at California, the Golden Bears played their home games at Haas Pavilion as members of the Pac-12 Conference.

Previous season[edit]

The Golden Bears finished the 2019–20 season with a record of 14–18, 7–11 in Pac-12 play to finish in a three-way tie for eighth place. They defeated Stanford in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament and were set to take on UCLA in the quarterfinals before the remainder of the Pac-12 Tournament was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notes[edit]

^ This game was arranged last-minute due to Colorado State dropping out due to COVID-19-related concerns. Due to these emergency circumstances, despite Oregon State being a member of the Pac-12, this game was, for technical reasons, considered a non-conference game and did not count towards the conference standings.^[2]
