away games

Matches played elsewhere

Away games are athletic contests played at an opponent's venue rather than one's home field or arena.

The term implies travel and the disadvantage of facing a hostile crowd: The team went 3-5 in away games this season.

In figurative use, any situation where you're operating outside your comfort zone or usual territory.
