The 43-year-old was stopped by officers from Cheshire Police hours after his side’s draw with Manchester United.
A spokesman for Cheshire police said: “At 8.50pm on Saturday 14 May, Cheshire officers stopped a Mercedes car on the M6 southbound carriageway, between Junction 19 and 18.
“The driver, a 43-year-old man, provided a positive breath test.
“He was subsequently charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol and bailed to appear at Crewe magistrates’ court on June 7.”
Blackburn are currently locked in a relegation battle and are just one point above the Premier League drop zone.
