"I'm appealing to you to stay out of trouble," Hodgson said in a video message. "We really desperately want to stay in the competition."
Rooney told fans: "Be safe, be sensible and continue with your great support for the players."
After violence erupted in Marseille over the weekend, overshadowing England's 1-1 draw with Russia, European governing body UEFA threatened to kick both teams out of the tournament if the disorder continued.
It also said both countries must make an appeal to their fans not to cause unrest.
England play rivals Wales in the northern French city of Lens on Thursday and Russian fans will also be in the area as their team face Slovakia in nearby Lille a day earlier.
in a video message posted on the English Football Association's Twitter feed, Hodgson said: "As England manager I'm obviously very concerned about the threat which is now hanging over us and the sanctions that could possibly be imposed upon the England team.
"We worked very hard to get here and we really desperately want to stay in the competition. I'm appealing therefore to all of our fans.
"We appreciate your support at all our matches, of course, but I'm appealing to you to stay out of trouble and to try and make certain that these threats that are being issued are never carried out."
Following Hodgson, Rooney said: "I'd like to thank the England fans for the great support inside the stadium against Russia and now we have a big game coming up against Wales.
"I'd like to ask the fans, please, if you don't have a ticket, don't travel, and for the fans with tickets, be safe, be sensible, and continue with your great support for the players. Thank you."

NFF admits owing Coach Amodu two months salary

A former Super Eagles goalkeeper, now Sports analyst, Peterside Idah had alleged that the federation owed the late coach close to seven months wages.
Idah claimed he received a call from the late Super Eagles coach, intimating him of his backlog of unpaid salaries.
“NFF please pay the ones that are ALIVE got a call from him (Amodu) that he has not been paid for about 7 months,” Idah said on Saturday.
But the NFF scribe on Monday said Amodu like other management staff are owed only two months wages.
“Every member of NFF Management is being owed salaries for two (2) months. The NFF will pay all monies due late Amodu to his family,” Mr Sanusi was quoted in a tweet on the official handle of the NFF.
The former BCC Lions, El-Kanemi Warriors, Shooting Stars and Orlando Pirates tactician died in his sleep in the early hours of Saturday, after complaining of chest pains on Friday night.
He was known to be hypertensive, and had rejected taking over the Super Eagles’ coaching job in February on this ground.
