road game
Match played elsewhere
A road game is an athletic contest played at an opponent's venue rather than at one's home facility.
The term contrasts with home game and reflects the disadvantage teams often face when traveling—unfamiliar surroundings, hostile crowds, and the fatigue of travel.
The team went 3-5 in road games this season.
Road games are a staple of sports scheduling, ensuring competitive balance by requiring all teams to play away from home support.
