English term

What are double headers?

English to Hebrew Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
This is the explanation:

If your clients are going to a game on a Saturday afternoon, they may also wish to attend another game on the Sunday, so this can be arranged. Please ask clients at time of booking and xxx will gladly grant your request.

צמד משחקים

Sorry Lingopro, but I have to disagree.

Nowadays, and in general, doubleheader refers to any two games played in succession at the same venue (see the rugby example in the link below), or, in television, any line-up of two games broadcast in succession (see NFL example in the link below).
The 'puritan' definition is pretty much only maintained in baseball.

In light of the above context (one game on Saturday and one on Sunday), and considering that I don't have the exact 'doubleheader' phrase as it appears in your text, I'd recommend
צמד משחקים

Hope that helps!
Example sentence:

We prepared ourselves for a Saturday on the couch, as the network had scheduled a doubleheader.

שני משחקים עוקבים בין אותן שתי קבוצות באותו יום ומול אותו הקהל

Doubleheader is by definition two baseball games played between the same two teams on the same day in front of the same crowd. (The term originated in the railroad industry; see doubleheader.)

I'll try to find a shorter term in Hebrew if neede.

ok, here's what Walla proz say:
דאבל הדר (double header) - כשמשחק בין קבוצות נדחה בגלל גשם נהוג לעתים לשחק
במועד אחר שני משחקים, אחד שנקבע לצהריים או לאחר הצהריים ואחד שנקבע לערב.
