High-resolution spectroscopic observations around the Hα line and BVRI photometry of the eclipsing short-period RS CVn star UV Leo are presented. The simultaneous light-curve solution and radial velocity-curve solution led to the following values of the global parameters of the binary: temperatures T1 = 6000 +/- 100 K and T2 = 5970 +/- 20 K; masses M1 = 0.976 +/- 0.067Msolar and M2 = 0.931 +/- 0.052Msolar separation a = 3.716 +/- 0.048Rsolar orbital inclination ; radii R1 = 1.115 +/- 0.052Rsolar and R2 = 1.078 +/- 0.051Rsolar equatorial velocities V1 = 98.8 +/- 2.3kms-1 and V2 = 89.6 +/- 2.7kms-1. These results lead to the conclusion that the two components of UV Leo are slightly oversized for their masses and lie within the main-sequence band on the mass-radius diagram, close to the isochrone 9 × 1010yr.
