Macclesfield FC returns to the Leasing.com Stadium on Saturday 18 April 2026 to host Spennymoor Town in the penultimate match of the 2025/26 season. The Silkmen are looking to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat at South Shields on 14 April, a match that saw captain Paul Dawson score the team’s only goal.
The team remains in a strong position for the end of the season after recently securing a place in the play-offs. This success included a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Merthyr Town on 12 April, where goals from Josh Kay and James Edmondson secured the win despite the team playing for 50 minutes with ten men.
Manager John Rooney, who was named the league’s Manager of the Month for March for the second time this season, has guided the team to be firmly in contention for a third-place finish. Following the upcoming home fixture, the team will travel to Radcliffe on 25 April 2026 for the final game of the campaign.
In support of the local community and loyal fans, the club is currently offering season ticket holders a 25% discount on food and drinks at Bar Twenty Seven inside the stadium. The club continues to build on its momentum following its formation as a phoenix club in 2020, achieving three promotions in four seasons.
As the team enters these final matches, they continue to honour the memory of young player Ethan McLeod, who passed away in December 2025. The club retired his shirt number 20 as a mark of respect.
