The polarization of inclusive J/$\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1{\rm S})$ produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV at the LHC is measured with the ALICE detector. The study is carried out by reconstructing the quarkonium through its decay to muon pairs in the rapidity region $2.5

J/$\psi$ polarization parameters, measured for Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV, in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames in the rapidity interval $2.5<y<4$.The first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
