Definition
出场 (chū chǎng) is a separable verb meaning 'to appear on stage/field' for performers and athletes, and figuratively 'to be launched' for products. For stage/sports, 上场 (shàng chǎng) is similar but 出场 emphasizes the act of appearing, while 上场 emphasizes entering to perform. For product launches, 上市 (shàng shì) is the standard term; 出场 is more figurative.
