Portsmouth and QPR have been charged by the Football Association following the mass brawl which broke out late on in their FA Cup tie on Saturday.
All 22 players were involved in the incident in the 76th minute of the 1-1 draw at Fratton Park after a tussle between QPR’s Josh Scowen and Portsmouth’s Ronan Curtis escalated.
An FA spokesperson said: “Portsmouth and Queen’s Park Rangers have been charged for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 76th minute of their Emirates FA Cup match on 26 January 2019.
“Both clubs have until 18:00 on 1 February 2019 to respond to the charge.”
Portsmouth’s Curtis and Lee Brown, as well as Joel Lynch of QPR, were booked by referee Gavin Ward at the time.
The brawl came moments after Nahki Wells had fired in an equaliser for QPR after Lynch’s own goal put Portsmouth in front.
