The club's parent athletic club, A.S. Apollon Patras, was founded in 1926. The club's men's basketball section, Apollon Patras B.C., was founded in the year 1947. Apollon Patras B.C. has competed in the top division Greek Basket League, in a total of 32 different seasons so far, being one of the constant teams in the Greek League's top division over the years.
The club competed in the top division for the first time in the 1971–72 season. Apollon won the local Achaea regional tournament 4 times, in the years 1956, 1958, 1971, and 1973.
In the 1996–97 season, Apollon B.C. had one of its most successful seasons, finishing in the 7th place of the Greek League, and reaching the Round of 16 at the Saporta Cup. The club also made it to the final of the Greek Cup, for the first time in its history, but they were defeated by Olympiacos. In that particular season, Olympiacos had what is considered to be one of the greatest teams in European basketball history, as they had won the 1997 Triple Crown.
One more successful season followed in the 1997–98 season, in which Apollon finished in the 6th place of the Greek League, and made it to the Saporta Cup Round of 32. The following year (1998–99), the team was relegated down to the Greek A2 Basket League (Greek 2nd Division).
In 2003, Apollon B.C. won the Greek Second Division championship, and subsequently returned to the Greek first division for four straight seasons (2004 to 2007). The team was relegated to the second division again after the 2006–07 season, and returned to the top division Greek Basket League in the 2012–13 season. In that season, Apollon made the league's playoffs, and finished in 8th place in the league's final standings.
