Ivy League men's basketball
The eight Ivy League schools compete annually in men's basketball. The following is a list of past conference champions and a list of notable players. At the conclusion of the regular season the team with the best league record is crowned league champion. If two or more teams tied for first place the league title is shared. Prior to 2017 a playoff would be held to determine the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Beginning in 2017 a tournament consisting of the top four teams in the standings is held to determine the recipient of the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. However, the league championship will still be based on regular season standings. The Ivy League was the last Division I conference without a tournament following the regular season.
The 2019 co-champions were Yale and Harvard.
