The live stream of Macclesfield vs Brentford in the fourth round of the 2025-26 FA Cup at the Leasing.com Stadium may well be interesting, with Macclesfield fresh off their shock 2-1 victory over reigning champions Crystal Palace in one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history.
It was the first time a defending champion had lost to a tier six team since 1909 and the biggest upset in terms of standings in the league, with a gap of 117 places between the two teams. Macclesfield will be desperate to prove their victory was not a one-off when they take on Brentford.
The Bees, for their part, arrive in good form after beating Newcastle United (3-2) and Aston Villa (1-0) in the Premier League, before drawing 1-1 with Arsenal. While the odds still favor Brentford, they won’t want to make the mistake of taking Macclesfield lightly after their shock win over Palace.
Macclesfield, meanwhile, are already enjoying their best FA Cup run yet and will be eager to take it further by reaching the last 16.
