History

Macclesfield FC is a Club with deeply engrained roots – both within the local community and the prestigious surrounding areas.

Originally formed in 1874, The Silkmen were evocatively reborn in 2020 under the stewardship of successful businessman Robert Smethurst and former Premier League and Welsh international footballer Robbie Savage.

Over £4m has been invested in the Club over the course of the last two years and there can be no doubt that Macclesfield FC is one of the fastest-growing clubs in the country.

Winning the North West Counties Football League – Premier Division by a staggering fifteen points in April 2022 and being the subject of a BBC documentary that has received over three million views, Macclesfield FC has unquestionably captured the imagination of the entire nation.

In the 2022/23 season, The Silkmen went on to win back-to- back league titles by winning the Northern Premier League – West Division by fourteen points. Macclesfield FC will be in the Northern Premier League – Premier for the 2023/24 season which is tier 3 of non-league football.
