doubleheader
Back-to-back matchups
A doubleheader is two games played consecutively between the same teams on the same day, originally and still most commonly in baseball: The Yankees swept the doubleheader.
The term extends to any two events scheduled back-to-back: a doubleheader of horror films.
Also spelled double-header.
