lineup
Who plays when
A lineup is an arrangement of people or things in a row or sequence.
In law enforcement, a lineup presents suspects for witness identification: She picked him out of a police lineup.
In sports, it's the roster of players for a game.
More broadly, any scheduled sequence: Tonight's lineup of shows, the product lineup for next year.
