  You can’t add or install themes on WordPress.com:

  Uploading a third-party or custom theme is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site. Learn more.
  Instead of uploading a theme, try checking out the current theme collection to see if there’s an option there that will work well for you.

  Themes

  All the available themes on WordPress.com are here:
