Macclesfield FC secured a 4-2 victory away at Buxton FC on 3 April 2026, marking the team’s fourth consecutive league win. The result continues a strong run for the club as they push for a play-off position in the Enterprise National League North.
The team is managed by John Rooney, who took the role in July 2025. This season follows a historic run in January 2026, when the club became the first sixth-tier team to defeat a Premier League side in the FA Cup, securing a win against Crystal Palace.
Macclesfield FC was formed in October 2020 as a phoenix club following the liquidation of the original Macclesfield Town. Since its founding, the club has achieved three consecutive promotions and now plays its home matches at the Leasing.com Stadium.
The club continues to honour the memory of forward Ethan McLeod, who died in a car accident in December 2025, by having retired his number 20 shirt. Supporters can attend the next home game on 6 April 2026, when Macclesfield FC Women play against Chester FC Women at 3:00 PM.
