List of NCAA Division I men's basketball career games played leaders

In the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the statistic for total games played in Division I men's basketball helps opposing coaches to monitor the extent that a particular player is used on a team.

All that is required is that he is one of the five players for a team on the court for a minimal time of one second according to the game clock.

[1] Bohannon benefited from two special provisions of NCAA rules that allowed him to play in more than the standard four seasons.

The overall top 25 is completely occupied by players who were active in the 2020–21 season and benefited from the COVID-19 waiver.

For this reason, a separate list consisting solely of players who did not benefit from the waiver is being maintained.

Jordan Bohannon is the all-time leader in games played with 179.
David Lighty has the most all-time games among pre-COVID era players.
Przemek Karnowski played in 152 games between 2012 and 2017.
Darius Miller , who also played in 152 games, is tied for first among players who participated in the standard four seasons.
