The 2013 Horizon League Men's Basketball Tournament began on March 5, 2013, and ended with the championship game on Tuesday, March 12.[1][2]

First round games were played on the home court of the higher-seeded team. The second round and semifinals were hosted by the No. 1 seed Valparaiso, while the highest remaining seed hosted the championship game.[3] All Horizon League schools participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded by their regular season record, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The top two teams received a bye to the semifinals. With the departure of Butler to the Atlantic 10, there were only three first round games.
