The adductor canal courses mostly lengthwise from superior to inferior, but also a bit diagonally, too.

It begins at the apex of the femoral triangle, bounded by the proximal end of the sartorius muscle, the adductor longus and the inguinal ligament (Mnemonic: SAIL). The adductor canal ends inferiorly and medially when it meets the adductor hiatus, which is a space in the adductor magnus muscle between the fleshy adductor insertion and the tendinous hamstring insertion.

The adductor canal contains nerves and vessels that are involved in supplying a small portion of the thigh:
- femoral artery
- femoral vein
- femoral nerve branches
