In Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) cluster cosmology, accurately determining cluster masses is crucial for constraining cosmological parameters through cluster number counts. As the mass is not an observable, a scaling relation is needed to link cluster masses to the integrated Compton parameter Y, i.e., the SZ observable, to exploit data from large millimeter surveys. Former cosmological results use a scaling relation obtained with clusters at low redshift (z < 0.5) observed in X-ray and in SZ at an angular resolution above 1 arcminute. The SZ large program (LPSZ) of the NIKA2 collaboration uses a sample of clusters at intermediate to high redshift (from z = 0.5 to z = 0.9) observed at similarly high-angular resolution both in SZ and in X-ray. We present the SZ-Mass scaling relation parameters calibrated thanks to the LPSZ data.
