Crystal Palace

FA Cup

Macclesfield

Having claimed the first-ever major trophy in the club's history last season with a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley in May, Palace's 2025/26 FA Cup campaign will begin with a trip to National League North side Macclesfield.

The tie at Moss Rose will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on BBC One and iPlayer, TNT Sports 1, and discovery+.

As with last season, there are no replays in 'proper' rounds of the FA Cup. Ties that are level after 90 minutes will go to extra-time (30 minutes) and then a penalty shootout if the teams are still level.

Of interest to Palace fans, should the Eagles overcome Macclesfield, it has also been confirmed the FA Cup fourth-round draw will take place live on TNT Sports from Anfield, ahead of Liverpool's match against Barnsley on Monday, 12th January.

Stay tuned on [**cpfc.co.uk**](http://cpfc.co.uk), the official app and across our social media channels for confirmed ticketing details for the FA Cup match.
