In this paper, destructive compression tests under the coupled influence of temperatures (20–60 °C) and confining pressures (0–7 MPa) were carried out on rock-like material with pre-existing crack to explore the deformation and strength characteristics. The stress–strain curves of rock-like material under the coupled influence of temperatures and confining pressures were obtained. Meanwhile, the correlations of peak stress, peak strain, and average Young’s modulus with temperatures and confining pressures were obtained. The results of the experiments indicate that, firstly, the compressive strength decreased and the deformation increased due to the influence of pre-existing cracks; the combined effect of initial cracks, temperature, and confining pressure gave rise to a more complicated mechanism of soft rock deformation. Secondly, the deformation of rock-like material was affected by initial cracks, confining pressures, and temperatures, but the influence of temperature was lower than that of confining pressure and initial crack. The failure mode of rock-like material was brittle at the confining pressure of 0 and 1 MPa and plastic at the confining pressure of 5 and 7 MPa. The critical confining pressure value of failure mode for rock-like material was 3 MPa. Thirdly, the peak strength and peak strain of rock-like material increased with confining pressure. Temperature had less influence on the rock-like material strength and peak strain than confining pressure. Lastly, Young’s modulus decreased with temperature and confining pressure.
