In the present paper, we find the conditions to characterize projective change between two $(alpha, eta)$-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=frac{alpha^2}{alpha-eta}$ and Randers metric $ar{L}= ar{alpha}+ar{eta}$ on a manifold with dim $n>2$, where $alpha$ and $ar{alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, $eta$ and $ar{eta}$ are two non-zero 1-forms.
