Uruguayan Suarez, 24, has denied Evra's claim that he used racist language to the France international.
Following the FA charge, Liverpool said they would remain supportive of Suarez and that he would plead not guilty on his return from international duty.
The club also said they would expect him to request a hearing.
An FA statement said: "It is alleged that Suarez used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules.
"It is further alleged that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra."
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has previously said that he does not think racism is prevalent at the club.
A Liverpool statement issued after the FA charge was announced read: "The club this afternoon received notification from the Football Association of their decision to charge Luis Suarez and will take time to properly review the documentation which has been sent to us.
