All three were bailed to appear before Southampton magistrates on 2 December.
They all have bail conditions preventing them from attending any football matches.
A 27-year-old man from Hove in East Sussex received a caution after being arrested for throwing a bottle.
A Hampshire Constabulary spokeswoman said: "There were some small pockets of fighting amongst the rival fans as they left the ground after the game in Northam Road, but these were quickly dispersed by officers and no further arrests were necessary."
