the big game
Title match showdown
The big game refers to a highly anticipated, important athletic contest—especially a championship or rivalry match that draws widespread attention: Are you ready for the big game this weekend?
The phrase often appears in advertising that wants to reference major sporting events without paying licensing fees for official names like "Super Bowl." Big game separately refers to large animals hunted for sport: elephants, lions, bears.
