makeup game

Rescheduled contest later

A makeup game is a sporting event rescheduled from an earlier date when it was postponed or canceled, typically due to weather, facility issues, or other circumstances.

The game is "made up" by playing it later: Tuesday's rainout will be played as a makeup game on Thursday.

The term appears most often in baseball, where weather postponements are common.
