How we ranked these
Capacity numbers reflect each venue's configured capacity for the World Cup, which is sometimes lower than the regular-season maximum because of broadcast and FIFA-zone reconfiguration. Surface notes the type that will be in use during the tournament. Roof type follows the operator's classification, not the tournament-day setting (e.g. AT&T Stadium has a retractable roof but FIFA has indicated it will mostly remain closed).
