European football's governing body, UEFA, led by president Michel Platini, are considering increasing the number of teams in Europe's elite competition to 64.
As many as seven English clubs and five Scottish teams could enter the competition at a qualifying stage.
But Wenger, whose Arsenal side have been ever-presents in the tournament over the past 16 seasons, is not in favour of the move.
Wenger told Arsenal Player: "I am not convinced because the Champions League already has audience problems in the group stage, I think that would create more and lower the level.
"It would mean that you create a complete European championship league. That could be detrimental to the national leagues as well and could take some interest out of the first stages of the Champions League."
