Georgia’s Rome Office of Tourism and Rome Sports welcome the Georgia Elite Classic Showcase back to Barron Stadium on Saturday, December 27, and Sunday, December 28, 2025.

The annual event features both tackle and flag football All-Star games, bringing together standout athletes from across Georgia — from seventh grade through seniors. Organizers say the showcase gives fans a rare chance to watch some of the state’s top talent compete in person, and for many players it’s their first experience performing on live television. The Georgia Elite Classic also has a track record of success, with 12 current NFL players listed among its alumni.

Rome City Manager Sammy Rich said while millions will be watching nationwide, local fans have the opportunity to be part of the atmosphere firsthand. Floyd County Manager Jamie McCord added the showcase not only highlights athletes chasing the next level, but also brings visitors to Rome and Floyd County.

Discounted tickets are available for a limited time.
Advance tackle tickets are $20 (good for all six tackle games) before 10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 27, rising to $25 on game day.
Advance flag tickets are $15 before 10 p.m. Friday, Dec. 26, rising to $20 on game day.

Pre-purchased tickets can be picked up at the ticket window with a valid ID. The event is rain or shine.

Fans can also watch the showcase live on Peachtree Sports Network, Atlanta News First, and the NFHS Network. For tickets and full game-day details, visit GeorgiaEliteClassic.com.
