Morphology
The meaning 'the day on which a sports match takes place' is directly and compositionally derived from 'game' (sporting contest) + 'day' (a calendar day), so a learner who knows both words can infer the combined meaning. This compound is a transparent, cross-linguistically common way to name event days (e.g. 'día del partido'), so it will be immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Game day comes from the simple idea of a big sports game happening on one special day, when fans travel, wear team shirts, and the whole place feels different. So, 'game day' means the day when an important match or competition happens.
