In the title molecule, C13H10N2S, the dihedral angle between the planes through the non-H atoms of the methylbenzene and thiazolopyridine groups is 36.61 (5)°. In the crystal, the thiazolopyridine groups of inversion-related molecules overlap, with a minimum ring-centroid separation of 3.6721 (9) Å. Furthermore, the methylbenzene groups from neighbouring molecules interact edge-to-face at an angle of 71.66 (5)°. In addition, weak C—H⋯ N hydrogen bonds form chains exending along [100].
