Macclesfield 2-1 Palace: FA Cup Shock
Macclesfield FC stunned holders Crystal Palace 2‑1, the biggest league‑gap upset in FA Cup history.
On 10 January 2026, National League North side Macclesfield FC beat holders Crystal Palace 2‑1 in the third round of the FA Cup at Moss Rose, setting a new record for the widest league‑place gap in an upset, 117 places. Paul Dawson opened the scoring with a header in the 2nd minute and Isaac Buckley‑Ricketts added a second just before half‑time, while Yeremy Pino pulled one back for Palace late in the match. It is the first time the cup holders have lost to non‑league opposition since 1909, and the biggest shock in FA Cup history in terms of team tier difference. The win, celebrated by Macclesfield fans, echoes historic upsets such as Hereford's 1972 victory over Newcastle.
