Tensions escalated after Forest’s Neco Williams appeared to push Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella off the pitch.
The incident involving Jackson and Morato was reviewed by the video assistant referee during the match.
“It’s alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 88th minute,” the FA said in a statement.
Both clubs have until Thursday to respond to the charges.
Three players received yellow cards during the altercation: Williams for Forest, and Cucurella and Levi Colwill for Chelsea.
