A lineup is when people or objects are arranged in a row one after another. Think of a team standing in a line for a sports event.

When we talk about a lineup, we usually mean a group of people, like players on a team, waiting to perform or play. Imagine a baseball team taking the field - that's what you'd call a lineup. In a store, they might have a display with products arranged in a neat line, which could also be called a lineup. If police are showing suspects' pictures for identification, that would be a lineup too.
