double header
Back-to-back ballgames
A double header is two games played in succession, typically on the same day between the same teams.
The term comes from baseball but applies to other sports.
By extension, any two events scheduled back-to-back: We've got a double header of meetings this afternoon.
Also spelled doubleheader.
