Home to the Russian national football team, Luzhniki Stadium hosts the opening game between Russia and Saudi Arabia, and will also be the venue for the cup final on 15 July 2018.
Originally built in 1956, the historic stadium was a venue for the Olympic Games in 1980, and has hosted over 3,000 football matches.
In preparation for the World Cup, the stadium has undergone a four-year renovation by Moscow-based architecture studio Speech, which saw the athletics track removed and the capacity increased from 78,000 to 81,000.
St Petersburg Stadium, St Petersburg
Designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, this 78-metre-tall stadium was designed to look like a spaceship.
Opened in 2017, Krestovsky Stadium, which is the home of Russian football club FC Zenit St Petersburg, will be known as the St Petersburg Stadium during the tournament.
The modern stadium features a retractable roof, to allow games to take place in all weather, and a 67,000-seat capacity. The stadium is set to host seven games, including a semi-final and the third place play-off.
Fisht Stadium, Sochi
Fisht Stadium was designed by Populous as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Originally completed as a covered arena, the stadium has had its roof removed and has been reconfigured for the World Cup.
During the tournament, the 48,000-capacity stadium will host six games, including Portugal versus Spain and a quarter final.
Ekaterinburg Arena, Ekaterinburg
Originally built in 1953, the Central Stadium is home to FC Ural, one of the country's oldest football clubs. The venue has been refurbished for the World Cup, and two temporary stands have been added outside the stadium to increase seating capacity to 35,000.
Following the World Cup, the temporary seating will be removed.
Spartak Stadium, Moscow
The second venue in the capital that will be hosting games during the World Cup, Otkritie Arena is the home of Russia's most successful club, Spartak Moscow. Built in 2014, the venue will be known as the Spartak Stadium during the tournament.

It plays host to both Argentina and England during the tournament, and will become home to football club Olimpiets after the World Cup.
Mordovia Arena, Saransk
Another stadium purpose-built for the World Cup, the Mordovia Arena was designed by Russian company SaranskGrazhdanProekt. The oval-shaped arena is clad in bright orange, red and white panels to reflect the arts and crafts pieces created in the Mordovia region.
Following the tournament, the stadium's upper stands will be dismantled to reduce the capacity from 44,000 to 25,000.

Samara Arena, Samara
Opened in 2018 in preparation for the World Cup, the Samara Arena takes design cues from space, reflecting the region's connection to Russia's aerospace programme. It was designed by Russian architect GUS SO TerrNIIgrazhdanproekt and features a 65.5-metre-high domed roof.
The 45,000-seat stadium will host six matches during the tournament, including Russia versus Uruguay.
