Can anyone help me so I can actually watch the draws "live" as it was possible in previous versions of FM? I am playing a danish club and I am about participate in the qualification round of the Champions League. I want to see the draw, but all that happens is that I get an inbox mail telling me who I drew. How do get to see the draw as it happens?

Not a single person know this? I remember it was possible in the earlier versions of the game, but cant get it to work now.
It adds to my enjoyment of the game if I can do the tournament-draws myself.

I'm not 100% sure @loadyth, but I believe most of the Champions League/Europa League qualifying round draws are done (semi) automatically in real life? From what I can remember when I've followed them IRL in past years, they draw the 1QR, 2QR etc. all at once - so therefore you'd only get an email as it's a "PAOK/Ajax vs. Ludogorets/Zenit type of situation. So only the group stage onwards would have actual draws. Could be wrong though.

Thank you very much for your answer. Do you know if it is possible to see/do the draws from the group stage onwards? Can I do something in settings perhaps?

No problem! From the group stage onwards, it should come automatically in your manager's inbox. Is that not the case? If so, the only reasoning I can think is that you aren't 'subscribed' to it in the inbox settings - if that's still even a thing, it was a few editions back but I haven't looked for it in recent years.

Yes I used to be able too, but now it seems to me that it is only possible if my teams participate in the given tournament. It is a shame I cant get it to work though, as, for me at least, it adds to my experience playing the game
